SEMINAR DESCRIPTION...
Tony’s training plan is directly modified from his years of training professional detection dogs and teams. The bomb dog must have total focus and desire to find odor, solve the problem and locate source. This workshop will not only tap into problem solving, but give your dog the tools to solve problems and bring out motivation to get to source like you have never experienced before! Desire, Drive and Commitment to get to source will be developed through exercises. More importantly, your understanding of the “hows” and “whys” will be clarified to make you a more effective trainer after you leave this workshop. Both your training plan and your future trialing experiences will benefit from your newly gained knowledge.
