Ways to Improve the Indication in Your Detection Dog 🐶

• If you want to increase the intensity of your indication, then rewarding at the hide is a fantastic way to do this.

• If you want to develop a reliable, and independent, indication, then the use of a terminal marker is key. 🔐

• Both methods have their part in detection dog training; but ask yourself this…

• “Why am I doing this?”

• Does it have a purpose in your training session, or are you rewarding at the hide because it appears fashionable?

• Food for thought… 🤔💭

The use of a direct reward and a terminal marker each have their place when training a detection dog. However, for me, a terminal marker is far superior to long term success ☝🏻

This week I will release a video detailing why and the advantages and disadvantages of both 🐶

Embers two legged indication and why.

Anyone who has worked a K9 operationally will tell you that sometimes it’s about a behaviour change.

Maybe the dog caught wind of something and spun

Maybe the dog went up a gear and became more intense?

Maybe they won’t leave a particular area?

Maybe the indication looks different because the operational environment is throwing other factors into the mix 🐾

Either way we must ask ourselves - what is the dog telling us?

Do this with your detection dog before anything else ☝🏻

However this is also the same for any behavioural issue we deal with. Whether it’s a failed recall or kicking off at other dogs. You can’t make any progress without engagement or motivation 🐶
