Course Overview

Transform Your Dog Into a Morel Mushroom Hunting Expert! Here's What You'll Learn:

  • Sustained Hand Touch: 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 on the hunt.

  • Imprinting the Morel Scent with the Box: Use box feeding to introduce your dog to the scent of morels. The box will help them connect the scent with a positive experience, making them eager to find it in the wild.

  • Imprinting with Scent Tubes: Introduce your dog to scent tubes containing morel scent. This teaches them to love the scent and trains them to focus despite other distractions, improving their scent detection skills

  • Imprinting with a Glass Jar: This step combines both smell and sight by using a glass jar to help your dog learn to associate both the visual and scent of morels, further reinforcing their ability to spot them in the wild

  • Scent Wheel: The scent wheel is a more advanced tool with multiple distracting odors. It helps your dog focus on the morel scent even when surrounded by other competing smells, improving their concentration and scent discrimination

  • The Final Response: Teach your dog the final response—how to indicate when they find a morel. Whether it’s sitting, laying down, or pointing, this behavior helps you know when they’ve successfully located a mushroom

  • Teaching Real-World Hunting Skills: Put everything into practice by taking your dog out into real-world scenarios, such as foraging in the woods. Learn how to apply the techniques in natural environments and successfully find morel mushrooms together

Brian Wilson

Professional Dog Trainer

Hello! I’m Brian Wilson, and I’ve been training dogs for over a decade. My journey began with obedience training, where I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of canine behavior. I studied at the Academy of Canine Communications and achieved both Silver and Gold levels in NePoPo®, which helped refine my training methods and knowledge.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon a gap in the world of foraging: I couldn’t find any resources on training dogs to hunt morel mushrooms. That’s when I decided to combine my love of mushrooms and my passion for dog training. I set out to make this my niche, and thus, Morel Dogs was born!

Since then, I’ve trained multiple dogs to successfully find morel mushrooms, including my own beloved dogs: Prairie, Winston, Beth, Walker, Lily, Jake, and Red. Watching these dogs work and use their natural instincts to find morels has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

But this course is more than just about mushrooms—it’s about bonding with your dog. I love watching my dogs thrive in the field, and I want you to experience that same joy and connection with your own dog. It’s about creating a meaningful relationship while enjoying the great outdoors together.

This course is all about helping you and your dog work together as a team to find morel mushrooms. Let’s get started!

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Here are some of the most common questions from students like you:

  • Do I need any prior dog training experience?

    No! This course is designed for both beginners and experienced dog owners. Whether you’ve trained dogs before or this is your first time, the step-by-step lessons will guide you through the entire process.

  • How old should my dog be to start this training?

    We recommend starting your dog’s training at around 6 months old. At this age, they’re old enough to learn basic obedience but still eager to engage in fun scent work. However, older dogs can absolutely be trained as well—it’s never too late!

  • What if my dog isn’t interested in hunting for morels?

    All dogs have different learning speeds and interests, but we’ve designed the training to help ignite their natural instincts. The methods in this course will teach your dog to associate the scent of morels with positive experiences, which often increases their interest. If your dog is having trouble, email me.

  • Is there a specific breed of dog that’s better suited for this training?

    Dogs like retrievers, spaniels, and pointers tend to be natural hunters, but any dog can learn to find morel mushrooms! Breeds I wouldn't recommend are shorter nosed dogs like pugs and bulldogs.

  • Do I need to buy special equipment for the course?

    No! You can get creative and use whatever you have around. Like old tupperware containers, pvc pipes, cardboard boxes, etc. You can also purchase supplies from us!

  • How long will it take to train my dog to find morels?

    The training process is gradual, but most students see noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of starting. The course is designed to work at your and your dog’s pace. You can spend more time on each step if needed, and you’ll have lifetime access to the course to go back to any lessons whenever you need.
