A huge thank you to Caroline Oldham for investing her time and knowledge toward advancing the skill, ability, and accuracy of our team. After a long day of training dogs she sets up a single blind odor scenario applying the training objectives I've identified. The service you provide is so valuable in helping shape and guide our training objectives for my dog and my handling. Our sessions always conclude with so many observations and action plans in our training log to address real time deficiencies. Thanks again from Team Lucien!

Thank you to DFW Metro Scent Work Club and AKC Judge Carolyn Oldham for overseeing the Sniff N Go that was commensurate to the complexity of AKC Detective Level. In our case Judge Oldham adapted her search scenario to add the odor of Narcotics to the complex situational based scenarios. Lucien and I were able to take the areas evaluate them for presence of odor and clear the areas void of odor. Great challenging areas to learn and gain valuable experience in our continued development. Great job Carolyn Oldham.

I came across this posted sign at a High School we were searching. True of humans and very true when it is applied to dog training. Thank you Mr. Einstein!

When a dog demonstrates an understanding of the task before him, all the hours of training come to fruition! This dog earned his keep today. A lot of hard work in large and complicated areas. I'm proud he's my partner.

The last sequence of our laser training ended with the introduction of a target I planted in the backyard. One of the complexity of this type of training is the dog learning how to transition from eyes ( visually responding to the laser) to nose ( hunting for target odor first in the area the dog was directed and expanding the hunt to include the balance of the search area). In this video notice how focused he was on "eyes" and the sequence of returning back to me for additional cues. Can you tell when he transitioned to "nose" to find the fi***rm (target odor)? This type of training really makes the dog think and process information based on real time input and memory ( for some dogs). This training requires a lot of reps for context and generalization of the association of the laser to detection.

After a few breakdowns in laser compliance with and without competing visual distractions we went back to basics this evening with the reinforcement for following the laser direction. By far more generalization is needed to solidify this detection tool. Great job Big Lu!

Yesterday was the beginning of conducting ORT's with my dog that I will document in my training log every 90 days. The lineup consisted of 15 different objects in a line up for every target odor he's imprinted on. I introduced shaving cream foam and gels along with stick deodorant, food, nail polish, and cat p**p to the lineup. I observed some interesting responses to those odors as we evaluated each item for target odor. In the multiple passes for each target odor not one false positive was experienced.

Challenge yourselves to think outside the box in creating unique distracting odor for your dog to avoid and accentuate the power of reinforcement at a target odor that will build value. Food may not be the only odor in an environment that your dog to avoid. In the meantime I will petition UKC Nosework to please expand the list of distracting odors that can be placed in a search arra.
