Taking the Guesswork out of Container Searches
This involves building your dog's confidence and your ability to read them by progressing from simple paired hides (food/toy + target scent) to independent searching, mastering distractions, understanding how odor moves (pools/cones), using varied containers, and training methodical patterns, all while keeping it fun and reducing handler cues to build real independence and problem-solving skills, not just "stuff work".
