Preparing Gambol to cap his drive and perform a steady, focused yet intense indication during detection work. Once he masters this, next step is to put it all together with target odor. He already has a strong foundation of searching and odor recognition.

Happy National Puppy Day ...celebrating dogs I have known and loved (even if a couple of them weren’t technically mine) ❤️

Learning to wear a muzzle, session 2.

We have a vet appointment today and while I don’t anticipate needing a muzzle, it did remind me that I should get back to working on this.

It helps that I’ve taught him to rest his chin in my hand so he understands the concept of putting his face on something and holding it.

Oh, and I hate editing video so don’t mind my fumbling around with the camera for a bit to try to fix the angle. I’m a dog trainer, not a videographer!

Taking some time on this gorgeous Saturday to enjoy the outdoors with Gambol. He doesn’t know we’re training. He just thinks we’re having fun. And isn’t that the point?

Hi. My name is Ivan. I’m handsome and I know it. I’m spending some time with Ariel to learn that I’m, in fact, NOT in charge.

When you find yourself getting frustrated during training because your dog isn’t getting something or doesn’t understand what you want, pause for a second and consider how your dog, lacking human intellect and reasoning, must feel.

We need to give our dogs a lot more credit for willingly engaging in training when they are so often unaware of our goals.

It wouldn’t be true if I said this was Gambol’s first session conditioning the muzzle because we did 4 repetitions before I realized I needed to stop and take some video. However, he had never seen a muzzle until a few hours ago so this video demonstrates just how quick and efficient training can be with the right dog and the right techniques.

It’s incredible how quickly and eagerly this dog learns. After one repetition of clicking for investigating the muzzle, Gambol began consistently offering this behavior. I have worked with him on placing his chin in my palm and pointing and freezing on a target which have similar elements, but I can’t discount how much his inherent clarity and focus contribute to his trainability.

Thank you again Merry K9 Services, LLC for the opportunity to own such a talented pup.
