Reply To: Search PACE – dogs and handlers (both)

[Susanne Howarth]

It’s absolutely a fine balance. It seems like half the time in our weekly classes I’m told that we’re going too slow, and half the time I’m told to let Biscuit take the lead.

Those of you with speed demons have the opportunity to cover a search area twice. Biscuit and I need to plan to cover it once — we’re not likely to get back to those places where I may have noticed a tiny head tilt of interest. So it’s always a challenge, no matter which dog you have — the speed demon, or the slow and thoughtful pup!
