About the webinar
Decoding the Blind Hide is more than reading the dog. It's reading the dog's interpretation of the hide, with a dash of understanding air movement. We cover SO much more than a simple change of behavior. You'll understand WHY your dog behaves the way they do in odor and WHAT they are telling you about the hide itself. With that information, it is SO much easier to call Alert with confidence! In this webinar, we address and watch videos of: How odor moves and where it collects How far away the hide is (potentially) located How to know if the scent cone is wrapping around a surface Whether the scent cone is elevated Whether the hide is accessible or inaccessible Where to identify the edges of the scent cone How to know if the odor is pooling or trapping How hides change dog to dog Includes a downloadable handout with a summary, checklist, training log and more, so you have the key reading-the-dog clues at your fingertips in training and at trials. This webinar is ESSENTIAL for nosework competitors. Understanding what your dog is telling you gives you a competitive edge to clear your areas and avoid missing hides.
