Beginner (Level 1) Focuses on introducing essential oil scents, scent recognition, indication (alerting), and basic search patterns. Training takes place in low-distraction environments (indoors or small spaces). Handlers will learn to read their dog’s behavior. Dogs stay at this level for 4-8 weeks. 2. Intermediate (Level 2) Builds on foundational skills with more complex searches (multiple rooms, outdoor areas) and distractions (food, noise, other dogs). Dogs develop scent discrimination and work on longer search times. Areas include cars, open fields, bags, and people. Duration: 6-12 weeks. 3. Advanced (Level 3) Dogs master scent detection in challenging environments (buildings, cars, crowds). Focus on advanced scent discrimination, timed searches, and moving targets. Handlers refine teamwork in more complex scenarios. Duration varies, with ongoing practice via workshops or competitions. Each level includes assessments and certificates, with progression based on the mastery of skills. How to Register - 1. For Membership: Sign up through the TM Canine Services app or website. 2. Organize Your Own Group: As we don’t host regular events yet, you can organize your own group of 3-6 participants to begin scent work lessons.
