Seminar - Building & Balancing Detection Drive in Dogs & Puppies, with Live Demonstrations

Join internationally respected scent detection expert Wesley Visscher for an in-depth seminar focused on one of the most important, and often misunderstood, areas of training… detection drive.
This seminar will explore how to build strong, clear drive in both puppies and adult dogs, while avoiding the common pitfalls that lead to over-arousal, frustration, and lack of clarity in search work. With live demonstrations throughout, you’ll see exactly how training choices influence behaviour in real time.
Wesley will break down:
What true detection drive looks like
How to correctly start puppies in scent work
How to build and balance drive without tipping into chaos
The fine line between motivation and over-arousal
Why some dogs become frantic in searches, and how to bring them back to clarity
Practical handling and setup strategies to create focused, thinking dogs
Perfect for instructors, handlers, and dog owners looking to develop dogs that are not just driven, but controlled, confident, and capable.
A rare opportunity to learn from one of the leading names in scent detection and see these principles applied live.
