Vehicle Search Mechanics: The Handler's Role Webinar Instructor Michele Ellertson Once the dog understands how to confidently execute a vehicle search, the real finesse comes from the handler. This webinar dives into the human side of the team: how to support, read, and respond to a dog who is already patterned and fluent.

Once the dog understands how to confidently execute a vehicle search, the real finesse comes from the handler. This webinar dives into the human side of the team - how to support, read, and respond to a dog who is already patterned and fluent.

Do you find yourself a little confused as to when to step in, when to step out, how to not crowd corners and how to avoid unintentionally biased searches? Not only is where to stand and what to do a critical component of a successful vehicle search, we will also discuss odor phenomena in this element, and some of the reasons it is so hard to sort for the dog (and us!). A handler’s knowledge of odor movement is critical, and we will spend some time discussing this through the use of video examples.
