About the webinar

On or off, on or off: it’s a complex question! In this webinar, we explore what is required to search effectively off leash and how the parameters of the search might guide your choices. We also talk about how all dogs are different and how to make the best decision for YOUR dog. We cover the key components of FOCUS and DISTANCE. We also get into how to flex your on-leash handling between more dog-driven or handler-driven techniques depending on the search area and parameters, and how to improve your off-leash handling to make it more effective. Tips for keeping that line from tangling are included! Includes a downloadable handout with a summary, checklist, training log and more, to help you make the on or off leash decision for your dog and track your handling improvements. Join me to solve the conundrum of on versus off leash and get better overall!
