Learn to be the best possible partner for your nose work dog! These coaching clinics will focus on immediately applicable handling adjustments intended to preserve your dog’s independence and enthusiasm while searching. I will address both on-leash and off-leash handling, as well as start line and finish routines. Hides will be straightforward, so any level of dog/handler can participate in this clinic - dogs just need to be on odor (birch/anise/clove). We will be doing multi-hide searches, interiors and containers, both large and small spaces. I will do my best to group dogs by level, but the classes will most likely be mixed-level.

Cancellations between 5pm Thursday Aug 29 - 5pm Saturday Aug 31: Refund if I can fill your spot.
