Handler Skills Workshop - Indoors

What makes a good detection dog team is a good handler, and often when we train dogs for scentwork we focus too much on what the dog is doing and not the actual human who is working them!

In this indoor workshop we will start with a short theoretical demo and then you will work on a few handling skills that will make you feel more confident and in control of the search, improve your dog's area coverage, and it'll help you understand your dog's body language better.

If your dog is very novice or if you would like to practice your skills further you can also work one of my dogs if you would like to. Please let me know before the day.

Dogs work individually so this is perfect for nervous/reactive dogs*.

£50 per handler place.

*Please be aware that although the search areas are not public access, the adjacent playing fields are public. There may be the occasional dog walker passing by but I'll do my best by putting up signage asking people to not disturb our dogs.
