Searching for treats – Searching for a lost object – Searching in a square. Fun, natural, and playful activities that will surely entertain your dog while exercising its natural instincts. Activities that engage the dog's senses and instincts have numerous advantages over other games or dog sports. They not only entertain the dog but also naturally develop its self-confidence and ability to respond appropriately to phenomena in its environment. For its human companion, these activities provide a deeper understanding of the dog's needs and abilities, allowing their relationship to be harmonious and based on mutual respect. But above all, it is simply great fun! Anne Lill Kvam has been working with dogs since 1986 when she began training her dog as an avalanche rescue dog. Dogs gradually became an integral part of her life, and since 1996, she has been professionally and full-time dedicated to their training. From 1997 to 2000, she lived in Angola, where she trained dogs and handlers to search for mines. Scent work and games are her specialty, and she is in demand as a course leader in many countries. Turid Rugaas has been working with dogs for over 40 years. In the late 1980s, she studied and systematically described calming signals in dogs with her colleague Stale Odegard.
