Scent workshops cover scent theory, fluid dynamics, canine physiology, and handling strategies. Level-appropriate problems are set for handlers in order to illustrate material discussed in the talking portion of workshop. Handlers are coached so that they can implement techniques discussed in the first half of the workshop. Provided guidance on resolving individual student’s training issues.

SAR seminars also cover many, but not all, of the same things.  They are structured differently, however, and are taught jointly with other instructors.
