That oh so elusive Q in Detective! “I missed it by just one” seems to be a statement that goes hand in hand with Detective. The Q rate for Detective across the United States is in the top for lowest pass rates of any element or class AKC Scent Work has to offer. There are reasons why, some of it is K9 and some of it is handler.

Judging many Detective trials and coaching multiple handlers has afforded Tony the opportunity to witness countless Detective searches, many successful and many not so successful. Tony has isolated over 20 skills that are required to be successful in Detective. Tony will not only break down the K9 skills required to be successful in Detective but address trialing strategies and common handler mistakes in this webinar.

This webinar will be packed with information such as:

• the 20 main skills a dog needs to be successful in Detective
• what trends and fads that seem to go countrywide with hide placements
• on the fly assessment of the search area(s)
• ow to use Master Interiors as prep for Detective runs.  

Tony will dive into the weeds on how to develop a training plan to prepare for Detective and emphasize how to isolate K9 skills needed and more importantly how to develop those skills (in a systematic way) while keeping motivation high in the dog.

Whether trialing in Detective or hoping to in the future, this webinar will provide extremely useful training information not only for Detective but for handlers competing in multiple Companion Dog Detection Sports organizations. Not only at the higher levels, but working their way through the levels as a bulk of the skills required are universal.
