Beyond the Hide: Search Design That Teaches and Challenges with Purpose
Advertisement
Join us for a weekend seminar with Natalie Duberow, the Regional and International Coordinator for United States Canine Scent Sports.
This two-day intensive is for chief search designers, scent work instructors, judges, and advanced handlers who want to design searches that teach specific skills, expose gaps, and create deliberate challenges.
Participants of all backgrounds are welcome! You don’t need to be a judge to enjoy this event!
The USCSS is a new scentwork organization that offers all four elements and fun games! If you want to learn more about this venue, its’ games and hide placement, register and join the fun.
Attendance on both days of this seminar will satisfy the requirements for CSD and/or judge.
The work centers on designing for the odor picture rather than the object, and on producing searches that develop clarity, independence, and problem solving in the dog.
The curriculum moves through the mechanics of odor in real environments—airflow, humidity, temperature, terrain, structural features—and how those variables shape plume formation, odor availability, and the dog’s decision process.
Single Day Audit - $125
Two Day Seminar Participant - $250
