Great examples about working with or against breed proclivities.

Colleen H. Hunt Drive Webinar

Very knowledgeable dog trainer with a lot of insight. Content was very useful and will shape my training going forward.

Susan M. Hunt Drive Webinar

Cataloging - getting comfortable in the environment. Vary amounts of rewards given and vary the reward. A higher value of the reward - less crittering.

Terry W. Hunt Drive Webinar

Tony always delivers more than you expect. His specific training examples and video examples demonstrating hunt drive were excellent. His ability to break down the various parts of a search was excellent. His stories were spot on to answer questions.

Rachel H. Hunt Drive Webinar

First off, I liked the explanation of hunt drive and how it was based on prey drive and the three components of prey drive. I liked his explanation of classical vs operant conditioning and how it affected the dog's drive to source. I learned games to increase drive in intensity to source which I will definitely practice. I will also try the zip tieing technique to secure a hide so the dog does not dislodge it as well as pairing and putting the food just beyond the hide so the dog has to go over the hide to get the food. Overall this was a great webinar.

Judith F. Hunt Drive Webinar

I always enjoy his webinars, as well as his patreon page and facebook group. They are so informative as he totally injects his own experiences with training many dogs (professional and companion) and he backs up his training logic with science, history, and his own experimentation. I am going to go back to the Pairing webinar and I have my eye on watching his new Detective webinar. Thanks for bringing this stellar instructor to SWU. You do GOOD work.
