Dana Zinn is back to bring her knowledge and first-hand experience on more advanced handling and training concepts to support a truly dog-driven search. How can we work with our dogs when confronted with complicated scent pictures, and how do we assess whether they really need help? How do we train to build resilience for moments in trials when we choose to take over? What are our handling options when we want to make a suggestion? What should we do when our hide placements don’t go as planned? How long should we let our dog work? These are just some of the questions we will examine in this fun-filled educational workshop. The participants will study a group of dog and handler teams demonstrating different concepts. Dana will use video examples, and video review from live working teams, to facilitate the best learning possible. This will be an open forum for questions, lively discussions, and deep thoughts. Whether you are training your first search dog or an experienced handler or instructor, you will leave with your minds full and excited to train and trial with your best friend and search partner!
