Description
We all want the talented dog that can search in any environment with confidence and clarity. So how do we make sure each dog gets the experience and exposure needed for the job? Barbara will look at the skills your K9 partner needs to become a successful search dog and how most, if not all of those skills, can be developed while your dog is working for primary. Hear from other seasoned handlers and instructors that are now working their 3rd and 4th (or more!) nose work dogs as to why they have chosen to extend that training time on primary from 6 weeks, to six months or more. Barbara will share her personal and professional “ah-ha” moments as they relate to building strong, resilient search dogs ready for any situation. She will also offer guidelines on how to evaluate your dog’s skills and preparation for the next stages of training. Using PowerPoint slides, videos, and discussion, she will explore the value of searching for primary to build an environmentally resilient search dog.
