We built this summit to be the kind of
training resource we wish we’d had earlier
Every speaker was hand-picked to challenge your thinking, expand your training toolbox, and help you build a more reliable, capable search dog.
This lineup was curated with one goal in mind: to help you train smarter, avoid common mistakes, and take you and your dog’s performance to the next level.
