Distraction Camp 2024 Hot Wash!




What to listen for:


“Every distraction is a possible reinforcement.”


Could minor changes in your training strategy routine drastically improve your dog's performance? Join Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing as they uncover the secrets behind intentional handling, drawing from their recent experience at Distraction Camp.


From hide setting and odor pool navigation to handling blank areas, our hosts open a treasure trove of insights to elevate your training game that you won’t get anywhere else!


They kick things off by discussing how running experienced dogs first can provide critical insights into the dynamics of a hide. Learn how minor tweaks in start lines, like transitioning from a sit to a down position, can make a world of difference.


Play isn't just for fun; it's a transformational tool in your training arsenal. Stacy, Robin, and Crystal explore the benefits of integrating food games, arousal modulation techniques, as well as how to read your dog's comfort levels.
