Alpha K9 Detection School ~ Maryland Part One

Week One involved all of the dogs working the scent boxes for whatever target odors they are being trained to detect. Randy Hare's training system allows the dog to teach himself how to get his reward. If the dog is high in drive and wants the reward (tug/fight) bad enough he will figure out what he has to do to get it.



Chuna ~ teacher's demo dog showing us all how it can be done. Is it just me or do you think she has a little ferret mixed in with the malinois?






 K9 Kaycee working the boxes and showing us very clearly which box his target odor in it. By touching his nose to the source of odor he gets a tug/fight at the source. Think he knows how to make that fight happen?


 






And here is little 6 month old terrier "Shorty" figuring it all out too!
 Of course we had to lower the boxes so he could reach them!
