Workshop Times:
Morning session - Sun. 10/4, 10:00am to 12:30pm
Containers and Thresholds: Master challenging nosework environments with confidence in this two-topic workshop.
Thresholds: We will give you the strategy and training tools to clear your search area—starting with the tricky thresholds—you’ll learn how to be a more connected partner and build the skills your dog needs to search effectively. Containers: We will turn one of the most commonly faulted elements, the challenging containers, into a strength by using exercises designed to beat environmental distractors. You and your dog will tackle a variety of container setups while building the strategies and confidence needed to master them every time.
Afternoon session - Sun. 10/4, 1:30pm to 4:00pm
Elevated and Ground Hides: Up vs down! Understand the scent picture from the ground up, learning the signs of finding the source of the odor in these challenging conditions. Explore how the air flow applies to high and low hides, to know when your dog is in odor, and build confidence in getting your dog to work elevated hides.
