has come to a close after 4 long, productive days.
~60 K9 handlers tackled formidable set ups and scenarios with brave willingness and open minds. The feedback and interactions were once again wonderfully thought provoking and meaningful. Very good questions and follow up as well during the instructor round table before everyone headed home.
After 4 days, the secret at Bill's Bar and neighborhood is finally out! Some very hard lessons were learned while working this scenario. NOT ONE student spoiled the unexpected situation presented to them at this station for those that didn't get to run it until their last station on Saturday. How very awesome and appreciated of you all! They also did very well with going from low diffused odor straight to strong, heavy odor to help solve this case.
During brief downtimes, Chelsea and K9 Mkowa got to train at some of the other instructor's stations. After 4 days, with set ups like these creating complex odor pictures, the problem can still be adjusted and worked to be very productive for a dog in training. They were exactly what his young brain needed to keep making progress in his training! We also couldn't pass up some photo ops on the tank!
To wrap it all up, we got the opportunity to visit The Farm. Sahara, the camel, and her goat friends were a perfect send off!
