Course Details
We can use 3 Dimensional Elements in our searches to encourage our dogs to go OVER, UNDER, THROUGH, and AROUND as they spatially solve the odor problem. Not only does this build incredible problem-solving skills, but it also increases the dog's commitment to odor and understanding of source. Dogs who are tentative in searching or who "fringe" alert by alerting nearby but not close enough to source will increase their confidence and drive to source. Dogs who get bored easily or lose focus easily will benefit by increasing their interest level and engagement. This workshop is about creating fun ways to utilize what you have at home or obstacles that you can find away from home in a way that gives you a powerful new tool in your toolbox!
This workshop will cover different setups including interim progressions that might help lower confidence dogs and utilization of obstacles that you might find on the road. Hide placement in a 3 Dimensional context will also be covered. Join Stacy in this workshop to flex your new 3 Dimensional Skills!
