Search Tactics for the Human End of the Leash Webinar

The one aspect that nearly all dogs have maintained throughout domestication and selective breeding is the desire to hunt, or to seek “prey” and to seek out opportunities for gaining access to that prey. Anyone with a determined counter-surfer can tell you that.  

But that alone is not quite enough to get us through those upper-level searches in time and with grace and gold scores. Prepare to nerd out about what our human brains can contribute to the team’s success. Where to go, when to call finish, to direct or to cast the dog, when to stand still, all sound like a lot of complex decisions to be made. 

So, let’s take a deep dive into the brain work behind making those searches really flow with this Search Tactics for the Human End of the Leash Webinar.
