Write your awesome label here.

$40 CAD / ~$30 USD | RESCHEDULED Date TBD

This webinar will outline common complaints from scent work competitors, such as false alerts, marking or soiling the search area, and general distraction during the search, and their frequent connections to fear, anxiety, and stress. 

If you've ever wondered why your dog behaves so differently in a trial or seminar than at your regular training location, this webinar is for you. You will learn ways to reduce distress and improve predictability, and when and how to help your dog if that isn't enough. 

This webinar is suitable for beginners and curious competitors.

This webinar is for you if...

You love online learning

This class is totally online. You'll get access to the course about a week before your first video meeting. Meetings take place on Google Meet and are focused on discussing concepts and reviewing student video. 

You value rock-solid foundations 

This webinar is designed for beginners and behaviour nerds. I try to share complex information in plain words, simple pictures, and short videos. You'll explore subtler details of body language, training ethics, and long-term planning through the lens of scent detection. Big-picture concepts come together with practical examples. 

This webinar celebrates the basics. If you feel too advanced to practice the core skills in scent detection, this webinar is probably not a good fit.

This webinar is about training with sound mechanics. If you are hoping for complex searches that will stump your dog, this webinar is definitely not a good fit.

If you enjoy the challenge of fine-tuning your skills, expanding the depth of your knowledge, and sharing new perspectives in a collaborative environment, this webinar might be exactly the right fit. 

You can thrive in a mixed-skills group

Train and Simple invites learners from all different backgrounds. Current and past students have a range of experience, from those who had taken a training class before, to seasoned competitors with many titles on their dogs. Everyone is welcome. Everyone starts at the same place. Where you take it from there is entirely your choice. Your classmates can learn from you, and you from them, no matter what you're working on!
