Really love the videos Holly provided. It’s meaningful that she wears all these hats and trials her dogs, and puts herself out there!

Great seminar!! It was very educational for me and provided an inside look at how judges approached setting hides for a trial. Tony poined out how a judge should take into consideration not only the environment when the hides were set, but also what the environment would be later that day. I enjoyed hearing about how judges decide what to emphasize on a particular day in a particular search. Overall a very interesting seminar!

Failure is a Growth Opportunity Virtual Event Instructor Holly Bushard, Tony Gravley, Jill Kovacevich, Michael McManus, Nancy Reyes, Aleks Woodroffe Failure is a necessary feature of the learning process. Yet, we in the sniffing community seemingly shy away and treat failure as a "bad" or "scary" thing! Our speakers will share how we can more leverage failure to further grow as dog trainers, handlers and dog owners.
