Patterns CSI to Novice Detection Webinar

Learn how hide placement, search area context, and reward history matters in building a dog who is organized and thorough as they search.

WEBINAR DETAILS

Deliberately using hide placements, and reward history, can drive search dog behavior using context clues to generalize to environmental/contextual cues and search productive search areas they’ve received rewards at before. The dogs past experience paired with motivation to work, will increase the likelihood that they will search areas without any input from their handlers. Then the handler’s role is to learn to manage the search and support their dogs as they search.

SHOULD YOU TAKE THIS WEBINAR?

Does your dog ping-pong around the search area? Perhaps introducing the concept of patterns, through the use of thoughtful hide placement and reward history, will help.
