Training Hide v. Trialing Hide Webinar Instructor Judith Guthrie Scent Work trial officials must undertake the monumental task of designing appropriate searches for competitors to tackle. This means they must understand the difference between "training" and "trialing" hides.

Scent Work trial officials have a monumental task: design searches which meet the requirements for their given association while providing an appropriate test for dog and handler teams.

When a trial official is also a Scent Work instructor, it is far too easy to fall into the pitfall of setting learning or "training hides" as opposed to the more appropriate "trialing hides".

In this webinar, Judith will discuss how Scent Work trial officials can better distinguish between a "training hide" and "trialing hide" when designing their searches at trial.

Are you a Scent Work trial official? Learn how you can better distinguish a "training hide" from a "trialing hide".

Are you a Scent Work instructor? We oftentimes will weave mock trials and similar events into our program. Ensure you know how to set an appropriate "trialing hide" in these scenarios.

It gave very useful information, and was thought-provoking. Judith does an excellent job of explaining things, down to some very fine details, and left me wanting more examples to stew over and consider. I will look at my training and trialing sites with new eyes.
