Hide Placement and Odor Movement Seminar
Understanding how odor moves can improve your skills as a handler as well as a trainer.
This seminar will cover many factors that affect odor movement, from the weather to the structure of the object a hide is placed on and the placement of that object within a search area. You will learn how to apply this knowledge when setting hides and when handling your dog in training and competition.
Almost 3 hours
