Handling Tools - online class

Service Description

This 6-week class will focus on building skills within the handler to better understand how to respond to their dog's behaviors within the search. It will allow you to learn your dog's COBs more clearly, give you options on what you can do in response to their behaviors, and ultimately, better support your dog for success and joy within the search. This is a brand new class. Topics will include leash handling, pressure, movement (handler and dog), and selection-type search handling (containers, buried, vehicles) vs. area search handling. The goal of the class is to improve the handler's observational skills, develop the tools in the handler, and build confidence in both ends of the leash. The teams in this class should have a strong understanding that "odor pays" as well as the ability to search independently in new environments. This class will not focus on your dog's indication at source or ability to work specific types of hides. ​Live online lecture (attendance optional, meeting is recorded): Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm AZ time
