Every competitor eventually faces that trial, where every hide is hard, every search area pushes your limits, and nothing seems to go your way. This workshop prepares you for those days.

Learn how to keep your cool, adapt under pressure, and help your dog stay in the game when everything feels stacked against you. We’ll work through:

  • Strategies for high-difficulty hides and complex search areas
  • Mental skills to stay sharp and focused under stress
  • Training drills that build resilience in both handler and dog
  • How to stand out by staying steady when others fall apart

This isn’t just about surviving the worst-case scenario, it’s about owning it.
