Flexis in Scent Work: The Good, the Bad, and the Handling Webinar

Are you in the “Flexis are evil” camp? The “Flexis look great, but I have no idea how to use one” camp? Or maybe you already use a flexi leash but still feel a little clumsy and would welcome some more ideas.

This webinar takes a practical look at using a flexi leash in Scent Work, including its advantages, limitations, and safety considerations. The choice depends on the dog, the handler, and the search environment. Using a flexi leash well takes training at both ends of the leash.

In this webinar, Judith will discuss what the dog needs to understand and what the handler needs to practice, including managing distance, using the brake as a boundary, and moving around obstacles. Additionally, Judith will cover the handler’s physical needs and how those affect equipment choices.

Building skills with both a flexi leash and a regular leash or long line gives you options. Learn how to choose and use the best option for your team to best succeed in your searches.
