About the event
Distraction Camp is designed to develop the skills necessary for both sport and professional K9 teams to perservere despite multitudes of distractions. This camp is open to all appropriate K9 teams as well as auditors. We will concentrate on the elements necessary to succeed at detection work, whether it is the sport or using your dog in professional applications, while increasing a dog’s engagement and confidence. This camp will cover foundation skills, all levels of exteriors, container and vehicle searches, improving skills for dogs already working, building independent search skills, handler skills, leash handling techniques, understanding how to read the dogs, engagement, motivation and reinforcement, trouble shooting and planning training to maximize learning when it comes to distractions. PLUS loads of fun, mini donkeys and camaraderie. Each day will includes working dogs as well as round table discussions.. We are focused on meeting teams at their level and providing ample opportunity for individualized instruction.
Venues will include farm building, barns, vehicles, and limited large areas. Focus is on instructing the handler how best to handle their K9 and setting up training to develop appropriate skills in their K9 partner.
This course is ideal for any handler or trainer interested in increasing their own knowledge around handling distractons and developing strategies for students.
Registration will be limited to 15 working spots and unlimited audits.
