The Handler's Role: Managing Behavioral Challenges Webinar

Part 2 of the series. Learn practical, in-the-moment strategies to manage reactivity, anxiety, distractions, and movement/sensory challenges so searches stay safe, smooth, and productive.

WEBINAR DETAILS

This session gives you the real-world tools handlers need when things get messy. We’ll show you how to read early warning signs, use distance and barriers smartly, and structure sessions to prevent overwhelm. Get ready-to-use routines for settling and reset moments, reward strategies that keep dogs motivated, and simple adjustments for dogs who are deaf, blind, anxious, or have spatial/movement sensitivities. You’ll walk away with session ideas, troubleshooting steps, and calm-breathing protocols for both you and your dog.
