Detective and Summit: Compare and Prepare Webinar

Join us for an evening of talking about the unique challenges posed by these two very different high-level classes.  We will discuss their similarities, their differences, and offer insights in how to prepare for both experiences.

This webinar is perfect for competitors who enjoy the diverse challenges offered by AKC and NACSW.  We will talk about the rules of both levels, training practices, and trial strategies.  While good training is good training, there are many differences to consider when getting ready to compete.  From time pressure to distractions, from coverage to detailing, we will share ideas to assist you in achieving your best performances!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"It was great. Preparation ideas for summit." Diana B.

"Holly is one of my favorite speakers!" Tracey G.

"The concise breakdown of differences in each venue, skills needed, and how those skills contrast." Sharee N.

"Everything! I love the practical exercises we can do. I really like the slides, they are so helpful later on when we need to check. I think I especially love that Holly’s love of the game and her dogs comes through. Loved it all." Ann H.

"Holly is wonderful comparing and explaning the differences and training techniques between the two organizations" Cheryl S.

"Delighted that I'll have the opportunity to review it again (and again). I know I didn't absorb it all this evening (this is not a criticism of the presenter!!) The organization of the material REALLY helped me -- skills you need for one, skills you need for both, exercises/games to train each type of necessary skill grouped by outcome you are trying to achieve (endurance, coverage, etc.). Priceless! I seem to just have this smush of training exercises in my head, and often find myself training without a clear objective. Her structure for the material she presented is just what I need. Also appreciated admonishment to always be evaluating, to train into your weaknesses, to train to bring your dog into balance." Judith F.

"I learned so much.  We are trialing in Detective in AKC and are working on our last NW3 leg.  We are a ways from Summit, but I always want to learn as much as I can.  My local trainer has done a very good job preparing us for competition as I can relate to some of the exercises that Holly has mentioned, however I have learned some additional ways of training by listening to this seminar.  Understanding how to slow down the fast moving dog or speed up the slower working dog is valuable to me because I am training one of each and I can now address both of their needs while practicing.  The focus on fun and the entire training and trialing process, including enjoyment of the location of the trial instead of just the ribbon is important.  As my first dog is now nine and a half almost, I am learning to just enjoy every minute that I spend with her.  She has been very successful in AKC, UKC and NACSW and I may never have another dog like her.  My younger male has a totally different approach to scentwork and I am learning a lot from him."
