Building a ”Hold my beer” dog: drive and determination med Leah Gangelhoff! 21 -22 Augusti 2023 (Deltagare)

BESKRIVNING AV WORKSHOP

“Building a “Hold My Beer!” Dog: Drive and Determination” is: One of the most important aspects of Nose Work is understanding fully how to support and build the strongest, most independent searching dog we can. We all want the dog that will say, “Hold My Beer!” at the start line and take off with enthusiasm and drive and sort out any scent problem in front of them. Dogs need to believe in themselves and their own abilities, just as we do. This two day workshop will take a look at the all the ways we may support this and ways we be hindering this development in our dogs. Critical components of a training program designed to build confidence, drive, and determination will be outlined.
