Our Article Recovery program teaches your dog how to locate, indicate, and retrieve human-scented objects with precision and purpose. Ideal for tracking work, IGP, or scent-based enrichment, this training strengthens your dog’s focus, nose work ability, and obedience under pressure.
Dogs are trained to use their nose to locate items that carry human scent—whether in grass, dirt, or other surfaces—and indicate them with a focused response, such as a down or stand. We build clarity and consistency in the indication, ensuring your dog understands the task and performs it accurately without damaging the object.
Training in Different Environments:
We train across various terrains and surfaces to ensure your dog can recover articles in different conditions—open fields, wooded areas, and even urban environments. As training advances, distractions are introduced, such as wind, scent pooling, and environmental noise, helping your dog stay committed and reliable.
Why It Matters:
Article recovery isn't just about finding objects —it's about teaching your dog discipline, patience, and problem-solving. Whether you’re working toward titles in IGP or want to challenge your dog’s scenting abilities, this program creates a deeper level of teamwork and precision.
Why it works
We build strong foundations using motivation-based techniques that channel your dog’s natural instincts into reliable scent work. Whether for sport, work, or enrichment, our training delivers focused, driven results.
