Communication - The 8 Tells
For many handlers, learning to read their dog is the biggest challenge in nosework. Tony dives deep into the specific behavioral indicators — the pre-cursor behaviors that appear before the final response — that tell you your dog has entered odor. Followed by carefully designed search exercises so you can see and experience your dog’s communication in real time.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
-
The 8 Tells: key indicators your dog is working odor
-
How to recognize pre-cursor behaviors as the dog processes scent
-
How to support your dog through the scent cone to source
-
Application across all levels from new handlers to advanced competitors
Tony Gravley Seminar
Thresholds Without Conflict
Fast entries and strong drive are assets — until they send your dog blowing past the start line without clearing it. Tony addresses this using concepts adapted from the explosive detection world, where no space is ever passed without being fully worked. The result: a nosework-specific system that builds precision at thresholds without creating hesitation or loss of drive.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
-
Exercises that teach dogs thresholds are productive search areas
-
How to maintain intensity, confidence, and independence at the start line
-
Handler positioning, timing, and trust to support threshold clearing
-
Applicable to all levels and future canine partners
