Conversations in Scenting Sports Chapter One- (Starting Zuzi: Work to do Before Target Odour) with Holly Bushard 

Live Tuesday, Feb 28, 2023, at  6:30 pm  CT (7:30 pm ET) 

I am so excited to announce that I am starting a comprehensive video project!   I am going to be filming all of my drills, exercises, and steps that go into building a fun, happy, and successful scent sport experience.  To start off, I am offering “Starting  Zuzi-The work we’ve done before adding target odour.”  This chapter will show you the steps we took and explain what I was thinking and why we trained the way we did.  I am anticipating that I will release a new chapter in the conversation every month or so.  If you are interested in joining in the conversation, here is the link to sign up!   This first installment includes 10 concepts.   The pre-recorded presentation is approximately 45 minutes long with a live Q and A session to follow.   If you can’t attend live and have questions, please email or message your questions to me and I will make sure they get included.   I am really excited about this project. Thank you so much for your interest!   Hope to see a few of you there! Holly and Zuzi

  This webinar and the q and a session will be recorded and all participants will receive a link to the recording.  The live link will also be posted in this space and purchasers can join from that link (we will email you as well!)
