All seminars include room and board — and a fun, friendly atmosphere!
Trailing
Presented by Cris Goodhue
This course includes a lecture and lots of hands-on training in the field. All components of trailing are broken down into specific exercises, such as line handling, PLS, scent discrimination, and teaching the dog to commit to the trail. These components are then put together to form a complete foundation. The instructor will tailor her instruction to meet the needs of beginner to advanced teams, and everyone will benefit from watching the other teams as they encounter and solve problems.
