This 3-hour long virtual event will be split into two parts:

PART ONE

Test your knowledge of a dog-driven search! Is it just hanging on to the end of your leash while your dog does ‘all the work’? Come watch some video vignettes and test your knowledge of whether the searching is dog-driven or not. The floor will then be opened for questions and comments.

An overview of Orientation - test your knowledge of what our heads, shoulders, hips and feet are saying to our dogs during the search. Awareness of our orientation is the cornerstone of understanding when we are supporting our dogs and when we are suggesting they do something different. We will review some video clips and use freeze frames and still photos of orientation to analyze what our bodies are communicating to our dogs. Are you saying what you want to be saying? The floor will then be opened for questions and comments.

Matching Movements and Speed: Are our movements preemptive, or responsive? How about our speed and pace? Are we in sync with our dogs, or pushing or dragging? Awareness of this is especially important as using our movements and speed to influence our dogs’ searching can be a powerful suggestion. We will be analyzing short video clips of teams using movement and speed disparities deliberately and inadvertently and show its meaning. The floor will then be opened for questions and comments.

PART TWO

How does the dog-driven-search apply to/answer these quandaries/questions:

- Is it pooling/trapping odor?
- How do I get my dog into corners?
- How can I make sure my dog covers all of the area?
- What if I’m pretty sure I know where the hide is but my dog hasn’t gone there, or has left without alerting?
- What if I only have 2 minutes for a large search area?
