Michael and Natalie McManus have been focusing on using Games to teach important concepts in Nose Work for over 10 years. Science has discovered that the number of repetitions it takes to learn something is enormously reduced if it is approached through a game. Games also allow us to expose handlers to calibrated stress in a non-trial environment, where we can focus on improvements, not just outcomes.

In this webinar, Michael and Natalie will cover the theory behind the why and how of playing games in Nose Work, show several of their favorite games, and explain how you can modify games for your own context. Perhaps they will even inspire you to create your own!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"It was very informative and seeing search areas set up was great." Doreen H.

"I loved it! It flowed so nicely." Carol M.

"The explanation of the games including the skills" Stephanie S.

"I liked the fact that the games could be done in either groups or individually and could also be done virtually.  Mike and Natalie were excellent in not only explaining how to play the game,  but also what the benefits of playing the game were." Judith F.

"Absolutely fabulous webinar!  Wow!  The McManuses are very creative.  I was hoping for games that would further develop communication with my dog, skills to work through pooling odor, and skills to build independence - important skills that my dog and I need to work on as we advance in nose work.  And that there is an e-book with these games and more - icing on the cake!" Diane W.

"The presenters are very engaging and fun to listen to.  The information was explained well and definitely sounds doable. I think it won't be too hard to present the games to students." Noreen L.
