High and low hide placement in the same search can happen at all levels of competition that have multiple hides. These hide placement configurations can be relatively “easy” at lower levels and then the challenges escalate as the number of hides and height increases and/or proximity decreases. High/low hide placement can be confusing for dog and handler when the odors overlap and one “falls on” another. Carolyn will discuss the many facets of these scent pictures, show some typical search patterns/behaviors to watch for, and how well planned hide placement in training can provide the dog and handler with the experience needed to identify, interpret, sort and solve these searches. Join Carolyn for a look at how to increase your dog’s ability to work these problems and your ability to read them under pressure.
