How long should I put out my odor before I run my dog??

This is a question that comes up frequently on Social Media and in our classes. A main factor of surface area vs weight of substance comes up in this same discussion. This video covers both.

Excellent - surface area I was aware of, however, how long the hide should be out before the dog searches was confussing. I had been varing it, sometimes only a minute or two and other times up to 15 or 20 minutes. Thanks to this video, I know that wasn't a bad thing to do! LOVE your videos, webinars and course material available on Ford K9 site - thank you again for all the great resources!

Great information! If one is doing sport nose work, how often would you suggest training per week? How long an interval? Thanks?❤
