Ask yourself this...

  • Wouldn’t it be nice if your dog didn't take so long to decide to do their TFR once they found target odor?
  • What if your dog was so focused on target odor when they were performing their TFR that you never questioned where exactly the source was at?
  • How much less stressful would it be if your dog would perform their TFR for as long as you wanted them to without popping off and coming back to you?
  • Imagine that your dog could do all this and perform their TFR out of sight?

Finally be able to work on more advanced problems, complex scent pictures and certification prep with confidence.

We've been where you are.

As handlers ourselves, we know just how important a solid TFR is for a successful search dog. We also understand the challenges that can arise when training a final response.

It’s hard. We've been there!

That’s why we have created this specific process to teach our dogs how to perform a reliable trained final response.

Not only do we use this technique on our own dogs, but we have shared it with our workshop participants and 1:1 training program handlers, and they too have seen the results.


“There is no way that I would have been able to get the TFR that she has now on my own!” Deb S.

If you're FRUSTRATED from trying to fix your TFR on your own and ready to get some CONSISTENT results that last...

TRAINED FINAL RESPONSE
Boot Camp

TFR Boot Camp is a 5-week virtual program with group and 1:1 training that gives you the specific training plan you need to create a rock solid reliable TFR in any situation. 

Learn exactly how to train the 5 critical components of a TFR in a systematic way that is easy to implement and fun for you and your dog.

But most importantly, once and for all, you are going to stop worrying about your dog faltering with their TFR and be able to move on in your training with confidence.


The Boot Camp Experience


TFR Boot Camp dives into the 5 components required for a solid final response and breaks down exactly how to train each of them. You are going to learn the exact steps to take and in what order, when to reward, and how to troubleshoot when things don’t go as planned.

Using easy-to-use virtual training tools, we bring the training expertise formerly available only at CFTE workshops, straight to your home. Weekly training and 1:1 support are yours throughout the entire program.

Don't just take it from us.

Here is what some handler’s have to say after working with us on their TFR.

Training Plan

Having the behaviors broken down into steps & written form is awesome to be able to make a training plan.

Tonya G.

Guided Plan

Definitely take the training especially if you are looking for a guided plan to follow. I wish I would have had this information with my first dog.

Philip C.

Step By Step

It’s nice to have it in a step by step form. When it is combined with the 1:1 training it becomes super clear how to move forward.

Deb S.

Solved TFR Problem

Highly recommend the program. I think it will be a tremendous help to less experienced handlers and those trying to solve a TFR problem.

Advantages to our virtual training format

The specific virtual training format we use in TFR Boot Camp allows you and your instructor to work closely together over the course of 5 weeks instead of just a few days in a workshop. This provides you the opportunity to learn something new, go train with your dog, and still get the support you need when you hit a little bump in the road or are ready for the next step.

You also get weekly private 1:1 training with your instructor where she provides customized support addressing you and your dog’s specific goals and training needs.

This frequent and recurring instructor contact over the course of the Boot Camp experience will give you the feeling of being at a workshop or team training.

Plus, you save money on gas and hotel!
About

Hi, I'm Kathleen.
I'll be your instructor, supporter and biggest cheerleader during TFR Boot Camp!

What I think is MOST important that you should know about me is that I am obsessed with learning how we can do our job better.

I have spent the past 20 years studying, learning and experimenting with different training approaches…and while I have developed techniques that I have a lot of success with, I am still always open to learn from others if they have ideas how to do it better.

I have certified multiple live find and HRD dogs and I’m here to share what I have learned about creating a rock solid trained final response with YOU!

Signature

Can you really do good dog training online?

The answer - DEFINITELY YES!

CFTE has offered various formats of virtual training and what we hear back from our students is that they indeed make significant progress with their training. Progress at speeds that would never have been possible if they only had access to limited in-person workshops.

TFR Boot Camp combines weekly group training calls, video sharing so you can show exactly what your dog is (or is not) doing, and 1:1 access to your instructor to focus on your specific training questions.

Don’t get us wrong, we would love to be training in-person with you. But we all know that is not feasible. TFR Boot Camp brings the best of our training knowledge to you in a practical way that will ensure you make steady and lasting progress.
But what about the technology?
I hate technology!

Trust us. We do too. That’s why we picked the simplest free apps we could find.

The weekly group call will happen on Zoom. You will get a link that will take you directly to the call. No passcodes or meeting id required. Simply click and join.

For the 1:1 video and question sharing, we use an app called Voxer. This app can be downloaded to your iPhone or Android for free with one click. We also provide a short tutorial on how to use Voxer and are here to provide any tech support you need.

What handlers say about the technology...
We are here to ensure that tech DOES NOT get in the way of good training!

“It's a great app. I found it very easy to use.” W.K.

“I’m not a tech person, but found it very easy to use.” M.H.

“I like it. Responses were quick and really answered by questions.” T.V.

Frequently Asked Questions
The group training calls on Mondays will be recorded and the 1:1 training throughout the week is done on your own schedule. You can send videos and questions 24/7 and can listen to the instructor's feedback whenever it is convenient for you.
All training materials, call recordings, and Training Plan PDFs will be available in your individual handler dashboard which you get access to immediately after you register.
TFR Boot Camp runs Monday, April 17th through Friday, May 19th, 2023. The group training call will happen on Zoom every Monday at 6pm Eastern and will be approximately 1 hour (depending on the number of questions). As for the 1:1 training with your instructor, the Voxer app is open 24/7 for you to submit questions and videos. The instructor will reply Tuesday through Friday within 24 hours between the hours of 9am - 6pm Eastern.
If you don’t feel like you learned anything new, let us know within one week of the completion of Boot Camp and we will issue you a full refund.
