Saturday's topic is Finish! But are you?
Handlers are quick to call finish when they have achieved their goal of locating the known number of hides. But what factors do you use to determine when to call finish when presented with the 'unknown number'? Have you found yourself relying on a single factor in deciding when to call finish? Have you ever missed hides that impact your confidence? Have you ever caused your dog to false alert because of your beliefs? This workshop will use trial-style scenarios to challenge handler/dog teams to assess search areas, develop quick strategies, and make decisions to call finish and build confidence.

Sunday is Separating the Signal from the Noise
We spend many hours teaching our dogs to love Nosework. The game is supposed to be fun and stimulating and to strengthen the working relationship between the dog and the handler. However, in our attempts to navigate through all the information obtained from training sessions, trials, opinions, and training methods, all the noise disrupts communication between the dog and the handler. The disruption in communication leads to stress, conflict, and a breakdown in performance.
This workshop is designed to "separate the signal from the noise" and focus on the dog in front of you by improving communication between dog and handler that provides clarity by working through a range of challenging search scenarios that are appropriate for the dog's level of training.

The seminar will run from 9am-4pm and will be held at:
Lords New Church
1725 Huntingdon Rd
Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006
