What Does Our Morel Hunting Course Entail?

Brian Wilson can transform your dogs into morel mushroom hunting experts! Our course overview details exactly what your dog will learn and how we will teach them. See the course description below, or contact us directly to discuss further what our course includes:

  • Sustained Hand Touch – We teach your dog to keep their mouth off the morel mushroom through sustained hand touch. This ensures your dog learns not to bite or ingest the mushrooms, helping them stay focused while on the hunt.
  • Imprinting the Morel Scent with the Box – Our training includes box feeding to introduce your dog to the scent of morels. The box will help your dog connect the scent with a positive eating experience, making them eager to find morel mushrooms in the wild.
  • Imprinting with Scent Tubes – We will also use scent tubes to introduce your dog to the smell of morels. This teaches them to love the scent and trains them to focus despite other distractions, improving their detection skills.
  • Imprinting with a Glass Jar – This next step combines smell and sight by using a glass jar to help your dog learn to associate the visual and scent of morel. This also teaches the dog to not bite the morel. Imprinting with a glass jar further reinforces your dog’s ability to spot morels in the wild.
  • The Final Response – After your dog knows the morel mushroom scent, we teach them to indicate when they find a morel. Whether sitting, lying down, or pointing, this behavior helps you know when they’ve successfully located a mushroom.
  • Teaching Real-World Hunting Skills – As a final test for your dogs, we put everything into practice! We take your dog into real-world scenarios, such as foraging in the woods. You and your dog learn how to apply the hunting techniques learned in natural environments, so you can successfully find morel mushrooms together.
