Topic: Putting the pieces together: Building Blocks for Elite and Summit
Location: Catholic Charities Paradise School, 6156 W Canal Rd, Abbottstown, PA 17301
Description: Focused on identifying and developing foundation skills that support confident, effective searching in complex environments, this seminar will look at how early choices in training shape performance later on. It will also investigate why these building blocks must be developed in a clear way to yield a confident team as we move into the advanced levels. Together, with Michele, you will explore how clarity, independence, problem solving, and stamina are built from the ground up and how thoughtful preparation allows teams to handle large, challenging search areas without losing detail.
Workshop Requirement: This seminar is for handlers who want to move beyond “getting through” searches and toward intentional, well prepared performances at elite and summit. Dogs must be easily working multiple hides, as well as have experience with basic inaccessible and elevated hides.
PAYMENT: Pre-payment must be received to secure your spot.
