This VOD is presented by Cristina and Aurélien BUDZINSKI from DogFieldStudy, in collaboration with the renowned Turid Rugaas, a recognized expert in canine behavior.

This educational documentary is designed to ensure that the human-dog team enjoys pleasant harness and leash walks. Filmed live during Turid Rugaas's seminars, courses, and camps worldwide, this video is a unique blend of theory and practice. It delves into what leash work means to Turid and how to learn and practice the techniques while grasping the underlying philosophy. The outcome is an original message, rooted in knowledge and coexistence with dogs, increasingly prominent companions in modern society. This documentary is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enhance their walking experience with their dog, strengthening the bond and mutual understanding.

Turid Rugaas brings her charming and distinctive presentation style to life, enhanced with footage from around the world. She possesses a profound ability to 'read' dogs, unlocking the secrets of their language and urging us to adapt our communication to theirs. This approach helps avoid misunderstandings and strengthens our bond with them. 

Turid illustrates her philosophy using a natural analogy: 

When you watch wolves on a bison hunt, you see the small signals that they are giving each other. They are so small that you would not think it was possible to catch them, but they do... and they know exactly what to do

She highlights a common human error in communicating with dogs: 
 

One of the biggest mistakes we people make is to use these “huge neon letters” when we are talking to dogs... we have to learn to get down to the “talking level of dogs” and talk to them in such a way that they can understand us without getting stressed because we overdo things so much.

 

Her teachings encourage a more nuanced and effective way of interacting with our canine companions.

NOSEWORK 2 – SCENT DISCRIMINATION is a comprehensive DVD that delves into the multifaceted ways a dog’s sense of smell can be harnessed. 

Dogs have an amazing ability to identify and differentiate specific scents from a myriad of others, a skill that can be utilized in a variety of settings. The DVD provides clear and detailed explanations of activities that can be both entertaining and educational for dogs. 

These activities can be introduced as engaging games, enhancing motivation and enjoyment, or as foundational training for professional purposes such as search and rescue operations or police work. 

The DVD focuses on scent discrimination games where dogs are trained to detect and signal specific scents, such as a particular substance, or to recognize an object belonging to a certain person, like their owner, among other similar items. This resource is an invaluable tool for dog owners and trainers alike, offering insights into developing a dog’s natural scenting abilities and strengthening the human-canine bond through shared activities.

Nosework is the quintessential activity that allows dogs to engage their instincts and natural abilities in the most enjoyable way for both the dog and the owner. 

This activity not only entertains but also aids in developing a dog's balance and self-confidence. It fosters a serene and cooperative relationship with the owner, who discovers new insights into their dog's unique capabilities. 

The remarkable potential of dogs in nosework is exemplified by experiences such as those in Angola, where dogs trained by the speaker were able to locate anti-personnel mines buried 20 cm underground for a decade. 

Moreover, a colleague from South Africa shared an account of a dog detecting a mine from 30 meters away. These incredible feats lead us to question why we are surprised by events like Rambo’s excitement when a female dog 4 kilometers away is in heat, as humorously noted in the quote:

The dogs that I trained in Angola were capable of finding anti-man mines that had been buried 20 cm underground 10 years earlier. A South African colleague told me about a dog who had signalled the presence of a mine at a distance of 30 metres. Why then are we surprised about Rambo’s excitement when the female who lives 4 kilometres away is in heat?
