This is the brilliant Bruce and what a boy he is.
Here is a little about Bruce prior to joining our Scent Detection program:
Bruce
Bruce is a large 7-year old male German Shepherd who came to WildDogz with social challenges having gotten into trouble with his pushy behaviour and needing to be closely supervised in close proximity to other people including those he knew well.
When I first met Bruce, he was a shared dog spending time in Devon & London which only served to confuse him more due to the inconsistency in how (or if) rules & boundaries were applied.
He now resides exclusively in Devon (isn’t he a lucky boy?) and following a behaviour assessment and the application of the appropriate 1:1 training programs for his behaviour, we made the decision to enrol him on a Scent Detection course and three weeks ago, he started on a UK Sniffer Dogs bronze Scent Detection course with us, video and pictures below to demonstrate just how well Bruce is doing and coping with unfamiliar people and dogs surrounding him.
He absolutely loves his Scent Detection training, tackles each challenge with gusto and enthusiasm and has an amazing future ahead, both domestically and as a Scent Detective.
Scent Detection is a naturally positive behaviour for a dog providing huge amounts of mental stimulation that is enriching and fulfilling for a dog, especially those who may struggle with social stimulation.
Provide a dog with rules and boundaries, give them a job that stimulates their primal instincts and any dog can thrive and live a happy, contented & well-balanced life.
