Manipulating Search Areas to Create Hide Challenges Webinar Date January 27th at 5:30PM PT / 8:30PM ET (6:30PM MT / 7:30PM CT) Instructor Judith Guthrie Search design in training directly impacts our dogs progression and whether we meet our objectives and goals. Learn how to use the search area to develop specific hide challenges. Some of the topics discussed in this webinar will include layout, airflow, physical access and ways to make changes to best fit your dog's specific needs.

Moving a chair, adding a barrier, or opening a doorway can change the challenge a hide presents. Even with the hide in the same location, changes to the surrounding area can give the dog a different problem to solve.

This webinar examines how to use the search area to develop specific hide challenges. We’ll discuss how layout, airflow, physical access, and available approaches can affect the search, and how to make changes with a particular training goal in mind.

We’ll look at building difficulty in manageable steps, recognizing when a setup introduces unintended challenges, and using the dog’s response to assess what we created. We’ll also discuss when to repeat a setup, simplify it, or change it to support the skill we’re teaching.
