It is simple, and powerful …

Reinforcement placement is one of those quiet little levers that completely changes momentum. When you accurately mark an action or behavior, or even a mindset/intent is one thing, where and how you deliver the reinforcement can affect what happens next … you’re literally programming the next step.

When you reinforce the right thing at the right moment with the right placement, you’re not rewarding the past … you’re building the future ❤️

A bird’s‑eye view of a search is one of the coolest ways to watch a Scentwork dog work … you can see the big picture and the puzzle the dog is solving, while the dog only sees scent, airflow, and opportunity.

From above, the whole dance becomes visible: the commitment, the fringe odour, the sourcing, the change in behaviour … a great learning tool.

Lola didn’t give a final response in this search but she kept trying and didn’t give up!
Such a good girl 🤩
