Whether you're just getting into Nosework or have been playing the game for a while, we can always learn more and hone our skills. Here's your opportunity to learn from one of the best Nosework Instructors.
When teams make the transition to the upper levels of nosework, a few elements seem to make or break the team. In the beginning, it's all so simple... but once things get challenging, the wheels can come off the bus.
The biggest challenge that the handler will face is being able to balance the give and take in a search area in order to maintain independence, yet provide suggestion and input to the search as needed. This is what Teamwork is about!
In this seminar, we will work on the fundamental building blocks that reinforce good teamwork.
Topics to include: Reading Your Dog, Being a Team Player while Maintaining Independence, Trusting Your Partner and Your Training, Assessing and Reacting to Your Dog's Motivation and Mindset, Get the most out of your teamwork with your dog!
