Do you know your role as the handler at trial? We sometimes think of ourselves as just a ride and a treat dispenser, but the handler's role is so much deeper and more important than that! Michael and Natalie will clarify the role of the handler in training, before each search, during each phase of a search, after you call Finish, and much more.

Sometimes the role of the dog vs the role of the handler can become muddied and lead to lack of clarity and even frustration for both parts of the team. Michael and Natalie will discuss:

• what is the dog's job and what is the handler's job
• handling vs training
• the 3 mechanical skills the handler needs to learn in training
• reading the dog
• the role of strategy
• why memory is important and how to improve it
• the handler's role through the various phases of a search and beyond!

This webinar is for handlers of all levels, as well as instructors looking for another perspective or a new way of wording things for their own students.
