Intro to Eco-Detection Workshop

Join Becca Kreski and Blair Pfeifer of K9 Conservationists for a two-day eco-detection workshop in Fort Collins, CO! This engaging workshop covers essential topics including:

• Field safety 🛡️
• Leave no trace ethics 🌍
• Know your target (odor selection and imprinting) 🎯
• Odor movement and weather ☁️
• Distractions and increasing search duration ⏱️
• And much more!

Whether you're into casual foraging or serious shed hunting with your dog, or considering a career in conservation detection, this workshop is your perfect introduction to ecological detection.

🗓️ Schedule:
Saturday: 8am-2pm
Sunday: 8am-12pm
Attendees are required to join both days.

An additional practice session will follow on Sunday after 12:00 pm at a local trailhead, where you’ll see demo dogs in action (pending weather). 🐕

🐾 Working Spots

Participants can bring their dogs and practice alongside trainers. Your dog should be comfortable in a space with other dogs and people and able to settle during lectures. It's suggested that you and your dog have completed at least one group training class.

Email admin@summitdogtraining.com for inquiries about suitability for a working spot.

👀 Auditing Spots

If you prefer not to bring your dog, auditing spots are available! This option is great for those whose dogs may not be ready for a long day or who want to focus without distractions.
