What Our Clients Are Saying
Loved it all! A lot of fun things to do with the tin.
Ann H. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
Learning new games to play such as tin toss and also observing videos of various dogs and handlers and how they approached their searches. I also liked the idea of setting a crack hide up in the midst of containers or vehicles.
Judith F. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
Holly had it so well-organized, GREAT visuals, she is always so eloquent and clear. And she has a training exercise to address every last question. Fantastic.

Amanda W. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
I enjoyed the training exercise ideas and videos of different teams doing the same search.
Marty G. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
The comparison of successful and not so successful runs of the same search was enlightening. Many great training tips of fun games!
Scott V. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
Videos of different dogs working ground/crack hides, how they solved those puzzles, and the impact of the handler’s movements and mindset on their success in the search. Also, Holly gives you ideas on how to prep for these hides.
Sharee N. Conquering Crack Hides Webinar
I struggle to come up with exercises / games and train with purpose, so I especially appreciated the many examples / explanations Holly provided for games that are fun (for example tin toss) while helping me understand the skill that the game is building both for the dog (finding ground hides) and for me (learning what my dog looks like when sourcing odor that's low). Priceless! Thanks so much. Great webinar. 5 stars!
