About the webinar

Part 3 of a series that delves into training and trialing in large area searches. You CAN prepare with hide placement and approach! Moving up the levels means working more and more complicated search areas. The areas sometimes get really big, and you might have to work hard to cover the whole area effectively. This mini series focuses on the pieces of being successful at training and trialing large area searches. Part 3: Training Approaches. When training for a large area, you might need to modify your approach to hide setting or location selection. This part addresses those aspects as well as hide placement and self-timing. Reward strategies and use of the search area are critical in making training decisions. Includes a downloadable handout with a summary, checklist, training log and more, so you can plan your large area setups and log each training session. About the series: Each mini webinar runs roughly 1 hour, including Q&A. Each one stands on its own, or you can watch all three. The topics build on each other, but you’re under no obligation to get them all. The other parts are Part 1: Pacing & Coverage and Part 2: Strategies.
