Interested in a new way to increase your dog’s communication and commitment to source? Wanting a tool to reduce fringing and false alerts? Join us for some fresh ideas on how our reinforcement shapes behavior at the hide. Similar to a nose freeze but not quite the same, this playful training tool has a lot to offer!

In this webinar, we will explore ways to increase a dog’s excitement about getting to source, staying at source, and communicating about source. We will examine how our reinforcement habits are either assisting or hindering our dog’s ability to target a sourced hide. Done properly, the bulk of this work will result in a behavior that looks similar to a nose freeze alert but is just a little bit different. The training is playful and empowering to the dog. By encouraging sustained behavior at source, this method opens the door for a variety of proofing options that are both fun and effective for increasing reliability. 

If any of this sounds interesting or intriguing, we hope you’ll consider joining us! 

This webinar is appropriate for all levels of teams from the very beginners to seasoned competitors. It is especially helpful for instructors who are interested in adding another trouble-shooting tool to the tool box.
