NEW LIVE WEBINAR SCHEDULED - Mastering Multiple Hides Webinar with Michael McManus scheduled for February 6th at 4:30PM PT/7:30PM ET

Do you want a step-by-step guide to how we teach our own dogs to do multiple hides? Learn how to take the conflict out of multiple hides, starting with building stickiness, and then following a procedure that introduces each new concept slowly and clearly.

In this webinar, we're going to take a deep dive into multiple hide searches. We're going to show you our entire progression with video examples starting from the foundation of building intense stickiness. A lot of people are worried about building too much stickiness because they believe that it will interfere with the dog's ability to find multiple hides later on. If you follow the right progression this is not the case.

After showing the prerequisite we will show you how we do multiple hide searches in our classes with dogs of all levels. Will show you how we teach the dogs how to have discipline about not returning to hides on their own and with handling. We'll discuss techniques to manage the handlers memory and search area coverage. And finally we'll look at some advanced multiple hide problems, how to set them up, and how to train them.

This webinar will be perfect for anyone at any level. Whether you have a puppy on primary or a dog working at the elite level who you want to revisit foundation with. If you're an instructor looking for curriculum for class this is perfect for you.
