Pre-Requisites: Dog must be trialing at Advanced to Detective level (hide placement, number of hides, etc. will be adjusted for your level), and trained on AKC target odors of your trial level.

Class Description: This is a trial preparation class where we will do a series of searches that simulate trial challenges. Searches will be blind, however unlike a mock trial, we will discuss the hide placement or search challenges before each search, and you may choose to receive live coaching during your search in order to have a good learning experience. There will be a group debrief after each search area. Video files of your searches will be shared afterwards. The searches will include at minimum 2 Interiors, 1 Exterior and 1 Container.

Please select one of the two hour time slots only, however you may request to be put on a wait list for the other time slot. You may attend both time slots if there is space. Hide placements will be different between the 8:30am class and 10:30am class.

Requirements for participants:  Dogs of all ages, training levels (or lack thereof) and temperaments are welcome since we work with one dog at a time. Dogs should be comfortable being crated out of handlers’ sight. Participants must provide own crates.
