Do you fret when you have to perform a search on-leash? Does the thought of using a long-line during a search make you cringe? Do you find yourself directing your dog with the leash or accidentally interrupting your dog's search while trying to manage the leash? Become well-rounded with your Scent Work skills and learn to become one with the leash in this 6-week course. Your dog will thank you.

The leash or long-line should be a part of your Scent Work toolkit, not an afterthought or worse yet something you dread! In this course we will cover a variety of exercises designed to help you hone your leash-handling skills which will allow your dog to work efficiently and effectively.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"It was very step-by-step and I think pretty much any handler could follow it. The practice scenarios were basic enough that you didn't need special places/equipment to work the exercises." Judy A.
