This class will give you the nuances that you need to really understand what your dog is doing in the scent. This class is CRITICAL for both beginners AND folks new to unknown number of hides... Can you tell how many scent cones your dog is searching? What about BLANK AREAS??
Did you know that part of knowing how to read your dog when he's in odor is to also read him when he's NOT in odor?
Do you know when to call Finish because you've found all of the hides?
Do you rely on a final response to tell you that your dog has found the hide?
We will address all of these and more!!
The trick to trialing is:
