Building the Multi-Dimensional Nosework Dog (Two Airings!)
Wednesday June 3rd, 2020 @ 1:00 PM & 9:30 PM EST
UP, OVER, UNDER, AROUND, and THROUGH… It’s all about 3 Dimensional Problem Solving!
When a dog works air currents and truly understands how to read and respond to scent cones, rather than just checking objects, you end up with a much stronger scenting dog. This ability is a part of being a 3 Dimensional Search Dog.
What it IS:
Understanding how to navigate and work the area in order to efficiently get to source.
What it IS NOT:
Pin-pointing or Sourcing Specific. The ability to work in 3 Dimensions enhances Pin-pointing and sourcing.
Why is it important?
A dog who can truly work odor will be more efficient, find more hides, and have fewer fringe alerts.
In this webinar we will talk about 3 Dimensional Searching and will explore HOW to enhance our own dog’s capabilities.
NOTE: I am offering a format where I offer the same webinar twice in one day in order to more easily accomodate Europeans. 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.
Can’t attend live?
No problem! As long as you pre-register you will receive a link to the recording afterwards.

Understanding and Building a “Find Another” (Two Airings!)
Friday June 5th, 2020 @ 2:00 PM & 9:30 PM EST
Can your dog be TOO “sticky” on hide? You betcha! Find Another is one of the foundational concepts for solving converging odor.
“Find Another” is the concept that once a dog finds a hide, taht hide is now out of play and the dog won’t return to the hide. This is a critical building block of being able to solve converging odor. The key is that the dog sees the experience as positive, NOT as an extinction process off of odor.
In this webinar, we will set up an approach to keep the process positive and will talk about pitfalls to avoid. Practical exercises will be covered!
