About this course

Do you have a box-smasher, a barely-there alert, a hide passer or a dog that offers several behaviours at the hide…and other places as well?
In nose work a dog who alerts well and confidently passes that confidence on to its handler., resulting in better times and results.
Understand Alerts!! Troubleshoot Alerts!! Improve Alerts!!
Join Karin in this webinar where she will be sharing her method to improve alerts for your team and doing a deep dive into the topic.
Great questions and discussion happened - you'll see! Our webinars are recorded so you will be able to watch it as often as you'd like.
Our sport detection odours are not hard to find. Humans, should they wish to crawl along the ground sniffing, could find them. So why is it that some dogs don’t let us know in a useful way when they get to the hide? Assuming you are setting clean search areas without oil contamination from your hands or previous hides, what else could be going on? We will be exploring this and discussing many specific examples of what dogs do, and how we can support them in doing it in a better and more functional way for teams.
