Over-eager dogs who blindly blast off of start lines can waste precious time before setting in and starting to work!
In this webinar, Holly will examine habits that may have contributed to building this behavior and replace them with more productive alternatives. Holly will discuss ways to manage our dogs in staging to reduce over-excitement and explore exercises to help our dogs bring their best work right from the start. Enthusiasm is a beautiful thing! Let’s make sure we save the brightness while increasing productivity!

What Our Clients Are Saying
The webinar had a lot of very useful activities that I can use in my classes.
Lindsay N. Blast Busters Webinar
Holly is the best. Her webinar is concise and walks us through the steps to handle and properly train blast busters. After just a few exercises, my dog is already responding positively to Holly’s training.
Patricia D. Blast Busters Webinar
Neither of my dogs are true 'blasters' but they are frequently overaroused at the start line. There are exercises and ideas here that will help us be more focused as we begin searching. Time is not our friend now. I particularly want to build 'a sense of urgency' once we get going. Both want to check the whole area before committing to an alert.
Gretchen G. Blast Busters Webinar
Holly Bushard has a wealth of knowledge that she easily imparts. Her ideas on start lines was excellent, and basic training ideas on threshold vs deeper hides was also thought provoking. I am looking forward to her additional video on leash handling. Great webinar!
Rachel H. Blast Busters Webinar
Great explanations - great training tools provided
Donna S. Blast Busters Webinar
All of it, very interesting. Not only do I have a blaster retriever. I have some spaniels and doberman that will benefit from this training. I have threshold find to try and steady down and fans but not considered lead pressure communication.
Mandy R. Blast Busters Webinar
Great ideas i am going to be using on a very excited working field lab in my class. Odour is like a drug for her and she can find it, I cant wait to see how she is once she has more focus at the start.
Amanda W. Blast Busters Webinar
Great ideas and the video examples were clear and easy to understand and perfect demos of all the techniques.
Barb B. Blast Busters Webinar
Holly's clear explanations.
