WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Loved it all! A lot of fun things to do with the tin." Ann H. 

"Learning new games to play such as tin toss and also observing videos of various dogs and handlers and how they approached their searches.  I also liked the idea of setting a crack hide up in the midst of containers or vehicles." Judith F.

"Holly had it so well-organized, GREAT visuals, she is always so eloquent and clear. And she has a training exercise to address every last question. Fantastic." Sue S. 

"The comparison of successful and not so successful runs of the same search was enlightening. Many great training tips of fun games!" Scott V.

"Videos of different dogs working ground/crack hides, how they solved those puzzles, and the impact of the handler’s movements and mindset on their success in the search. Also, Holly gives you ideas on how to prep for these hides." Sharee N.

"I struggle to come up with exercises / games and train with purpose, so I especially appreciated the many examples / explanations Holly provided for games that are fun (for example tin toss) while helping me understand the skill that the game is building both for the dog (finding ground hides) and for me (learning what my dog looks like when sourcing odor that's low). Priceless! Thanks so much. Great webinar. 5 stars!" Sandy R.

"Holly boiled down crack hides into simple components so that I feel I can get much more confident in working and calling them. Build the trust, be a good handler! And let the dog do his work, got it! I wish I could have given her the video of our NW2. My very talented baby dog (#4 for NW) was working the crack hide from the beginning, but I was convinced (being NW2) it had to be on a picnic table (big handler error). It is amazing he persisted into the 30 sec warning and we got it in the nick of time." Brenda K.
