Helping Your Dog Find That Last Hide: Friend or Foe? Webinar

Very often, especially at the higher levels of competition, the first few hides seem relatively easy for your dog to pick off, but then there appears/occurs a hide that ends up taking a very long time to find. Often, this is the last hide. 

We usually go through a litany of shenanigans to help our dog’s find that elusive hide, ranging from holding our dog’s closer to the source-area, narrowing our dog’s ability to range out away from the hide, facing or orienting to the hide, moving our position to try to block or disrupt odor to help our dog’s find it. Occasionally, people will wait until the dog is not ‘looking’ and pair the hide. 

Can these tactics help our dogs find future, similar hides? What are some of the things gained by helping our dog’s find a difficult hide or solve a difficult problem?

In this webinar, Sue will show videos of dogs who are working hard to find an elusive hide, or struggling to solve a challenging odor problem. Sue will demonstrate some of the most common ways handlers work these hides, and offer insight and different ways of approaching these events.
