There is a long tradition in Europe of dogs specifically bred and trained to aid hunters in finding both white and black truffles. Sadly, we do not have that genus of truffle in Colorado…but we do have dogs, we have forests, and our dogs like to find things!
On June 22, 2022, Certified Dog Trainer, Zoe Jean, from Pavlov Dog Training, will be presenting “How To Train Your Dog to Find Things In The Woods” for the Pikes Peak Mycological Society.
Zoe Jean attended the Starmark Academy and is a Certified Dog Behaviorist and Trainer at Pavlov Dog Training, a Denver based private dog training academy. In addition to her work with Pavlov Dog Training, Zoe is a foster parent for high risk dogs who would otherwise be euthanized. While in her care, Zoe rehabilitates the dogs so they are better suited for finding their furever homes.
Accompanying Zoe will be foster pup, Willy, whom she will train on the spot, to find a dried mushroom using scent detection and positive reinforcement.
Your dog is welcome to join you for this free class, as long as he/she is well behaved, non-aggressive towards people, children and other dogs, and won’t be too distracted in the classroom environment.
Willy is available for adoption! For more information, contact Zoe, or speak with her on-site, if you think he might be a good fit for your household.
Join Zoe Jean from Pavlov Dog Training and the Pikes Peak Mycological Society On:
Wednesday, June 22nd
6:00 PM
Fire Station 16
4980 Farthing Drive
