WW295: March 27- Targeted Training: Structuring the Perfect Training Session for Nosework (REPEAT)

Are you excited to go out and search but you need help figuring out how to adapt your searches to what your dog needs? Did you know that the LEAST effective way to train is to just set out hides in cool spots? How you set hides and how you respond to your dog will dictate how successful you will be.

This workshop focuses on the approach to training. We all need to train skills, but it can be hard to figure out how to adapt a search to the dog in front of us.

This workshop will systematically help you to evaluate your dog based on their personality and cognitive profile and then will help you to determine what to train and how to train it.

Note:  This is a repeat workshop that has run previously under a different course number.  Please review your workshop library to make sure this would not be a duplicate purchase.
