Holly Bushard- former police officer, drug detection dog handler, and now scent work judge, competitor and trainer - will help us in a fun two days of learning. FRIDAY is Handler Excellence - . From our approach to a search area straight through our finish call, every decision and action impacts our team’s performance. In this session, we will place our habits under a microscope and exam what is working well and what habits could use some TLC. . Extremely important leash handling skill development will be included. There is more to great leash management than merely learning to hang on and avoid tangles! Spend some time exploring the nuanced language available through line management.
From staging to start lines to finish call, we will construct our most playful and perfect partnership. Examining the details is interesting and FUN when we can keep an open mind. Let’s up our game together! This seminar is Holly’s New Favorite!
SUNDAY- THE PUZZLES THAT MATTER
Maintaining the correct balance in nosework is always an interesting challenge. We need dogs who cover ground, stick with problems, are odor obedient, and move off of hides easily. Keeping all of the necessary skills in balance requires a tool box full of exercises that can be used to strengthen any skillset that is being underutilized or has just gotten rusty. In this seminar, handlers will be presented with a collection of skills and drills intended to maintain a well-rounded search dog.
All of the exercises are compatible with at-home work and will require minimal set up or space making them perfect for self study.
