👀 What You’ll Gain as an Auditor

Audit spots are not passive — if you’re paying attention, you’ll walk away with a huge amount of knowledge.

You’ll observe real dogs and handlers working through:

• Advanced leash handling mechanics

• Drive theory + capping

• Off-leash obedience progression

• Reward placement & timing

• Nose work / detection fundamentals

• Stability & neutrality in real environments

• Puppy development concepts

• Problem-solving in real time

You will also receive a written handout to take notes and apply what you learn.
