Building Reliable Commitment to Odor
I recently did a Facebook Live and wanted to share it with all of you! Are you curious about the response, “It Depends”, when determining how to train your dog to drive to odor no matter what? Are you confused about Trained Final Responses and don’t know what is best for your team? This is a FREE video… I hope it helps! Enjoy!

The Early and the Late Airings will feature identical content and will both be done LIVE. You DO NOT need to sign up for both! You will get the recording afterwards for whichever airing you sign up for.

- What are the pitfalls and why do they happen?
- Key components to success
- General approach
- Building duration behaviors
- What about a temporary option?
