What's the Excitement about Arousal...in Our Dogs

What to listen for:“When you’re thinking dog-directed search, try to be aware of the fact that you are a very important part of the team. You’ve really got to be thoughtful in your handling.”In this episode of K9 Detection Collaborative, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing unravel the concept of dog-directed searches, the role of the handler, and how to efficiently navigate through the search process. They explore how body movement, body pressure, and body language can be used to guide your dogs, particularly when moving out of odor pools. An actual leash or an “invisible tether” can be used when directing the dog and helping them dismiss scents.Further into their discussion, the Dames of Detection unravel the mysteries of recognizing and using body language to identify and navigate odor pools. As they highlight the importance of the handler's responsibility for their dog's search pattern, they also shed light on the ineffective outcomes of a handler being overly directive. They underscore the importance of aging hides and how essential oils can expedite the process and share some effective dog scent detection handling techniques that can make your dog’s search process efficient and fruitful. All this and more in this episode of K9 Detection Collaborative! Key Topics:Search Strategy and Calling Areas Clear (03:00)“Pulling” the Dog Out of the Area without a Leash (07:57)Preparation and Plan B for Odor Pools (13:06)Odor Pool Work - Online vs Offline (18:14)Odor Pool - Teaching Concepts (22:55)Teaching the Dog to Be Directed and Coachable (28:43)Sourcing Independently (34:12)What Really is Dog-Directed Search if the Trainer is Involved?

Boundaries For Our Dogs

Jens Frank

What to listen for:Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing break down and reflect on their conversation with Jens Frank of the Scandinavian Working Dog Institute. Our hosts chat topics such as number of hides vs percentage of finds, imaginative hide placement, and beyond.They discuss the need to expand our dogs' skill sets and fluency by offering them a variety of training scenarios. They highlight the value of setting hides differently for nose work and other disciplines, acknowledging that messy and negative marks are part of the process. They also explore the importance of controlling arousal in training high-drive dogs, discussing how certain activities and tasks can be used to manipulate these levels to achieve optimal results. In the final segment, they dive into rewarding effort and understanding reinforcement, emphasizing the need to reward desirable behaviors and not out of pity or guilt. They also discuss the importance of understanding our dogs' drives and motivations when training. The episode wraps up with lessons from messy training, the power of observation, and the importance of deprivation as a positive tool for gaining our dogs' attention and focus.Key Topics:10 Hides in an Area (01:47)Creative and Strategic Hide Placement (07:49)Setting Hides for Different Disciplines (13:12)“People Don’t Want Messy” But it’s Part of the Process (15:54)High Arousal / High Drive Dogs (19:10)“What is Your Optimal Arousal for What You’re Trying to do” (27:59)The Problem with Rewarding Effort and Confidence (30:42)“What We Think is Rewarding, the Dog May Actually Think is Punishing” (37:38)The Importance of the Handler in the Equation (48:28)Acquiring the Right Tools for the Job (51:35)Resources:Episodes 72, 73 Interviewing Jens FrankScandinavian Working Dog Institute (SWDI) https://swdi.se/Here's a link to the App where you get lifetime access to the progression plans.

Boundaries

Deborah Jones

Losing a beloved pet is an incredibly emotional experience, and as dog trainers, we've all been there.

What Have We Been Up To?

What to listen for:Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal talk all things resiliency in our dogs.They kick off the discussion with examples of lack of resiliency in detection work, including slowing down or checking out. This is often when the handler starts to over-direct, sending the dog further down a vicious cycle of learned helplessness.Our hosts agree that play is the best way to teach resiliency, because playful activity minimizes stress and anxiety, builds confidence, encourages problem-solving, and improves concentration and mental stamina.They go on to share their thoughts on different breeds’ genetic disposition to resiliency and how to work around your dog’s particular characteristics and personality. They also explain how to build that creative problem-solving muscle while they are still a puppy to give them a powerful foundation on which to build resiliency as they age.“We get so focused on getting to the end goal as fast as possible,” says Crystal, “that we fail to lay those foundational building blocks.” A great handler is not afraid—and in fact, knows that it’s essential—to introduce failure into their training. This means making training scenarios progressively more difficult, increasing in difficulty slowly but surely, and tailoring training to the specific dog.“You can build resiliency,” agrees Robin. “You just have to take it a thin layer at a time, just like Teflon coating.”Key Topics:Examples of the opposite of resiliency in a dog (01:12)Preparing your dog so work environments seem underwhelming (05:34)Resiliency issues around problem-solving (08:15)Why to not become “wedded to the hide” (11:26)Why play is the most effective way to teach resiliency (15:48)Why confidence alone doesn’t lead to resiliency (21:17)Introducing failure into your training (25:59)How resiliency and fluency go hand-in-hand (33:24)Teaching your puppy to be a creative problem-solver (38:47)The resiliency of the handler (44:22)Selecting a resilient puppy (46:16)What to take note of when looking at the breed’s history (53:27)Our biggest takeaways (56:25)Resources:Training Your Teenage Detection Dog from K9Sensus (mentioned in the episode)K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 11: The D’s of Detection WorkWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Resiliency in our K9 Partner

What to listen for:Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal sit down to discuss the biggest takeaways from their recent conversation with Tazzie Winkler, in the previous episode (#60).They discuss what it means to see scenarios from your dog’s point of view in order to ensure that they get from point A to B as efficiently as you intend.With the powerful lesson that “dogs never lie” ringing in their minds, our hosts talk about the skill of tailoring your training around your dog’s unique motivations, and in so doing reinforcing the right behaviors from the get-go.They talk about the difference between hyperactivity and drive, and how to work around high-arousal dogs to keep them silent and driven at the same time.Tazzie shared that empathy—understanding others—is the most important trait in a handler. Crystal expounds on this idea, bringing to mind the three elements that create genuine empathy: thoughts, actions, and feelings; as well as the three expressions empathy can take: cognitive, emotive, and empathic action.Our hosts stress the importance of manipulating an environment as much as needed (and not more than necessary) and keeping your training routine consistent, all in order to give the dog the greatest opportunity to generalize a specific behavior.Key Topics:Putting yourself in your dog’s shoes (03:29)The difference between hyperactivity and drive (06:21)Letting your dog teach you (08:53)A deep dive into empathy + Empathic Dog Training (16:08)Three steps to growing your emotional intelligence (19:52)Creating a clear progression plan to minimize your dog’s incorrect decisions (23:46)The importance of consistency (30:33)Motivation and reinforcement (41:09)Applying empathic action (43:58)Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 60: Talking Dogs with Tazzie Winkler Rivanna K9 ServicesUnderstanding the Premack Principle in Dog TrainingSchutzhund VillageHow dogs love us | Dr. Gregory Berns | TEDxAtlantaHOWGO Dog Rope Toy (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Reflections on Talking with Tazzie and Being Fair to Your Dog

What to listen for:Today, Robin and Crystal sit down with Tazzie Winkler. Born in Norway, raised in England, and now based in Virginia, Tazzie’s original dream was to be an Olympic dressage rider. However, she discovered a far more alluring path for herself after spending time around military dogs while in the Army. She was given the opportunity to join the dog platoon in 2005, mainly working with German Shepherds. She retired from the Army in 2014.Tazzie decided at that point to dive into the wilderness and avalanche search and rescue world. She started with a Doberman puppy and, after making a myriad of mistakes coupled with the challenges of training the challenging breed, Tazzie was certified.Today, she works with the Virginia-based Rivanna K9 Services, and has recently started her own LLC, Empathic Dog Training Academy. Listen in as Tazzie demonstrates, through her experience working with Dobermans from the start of her career, that breed is not as critical a factor to a dog’s potential as the individual dog’s personality and temperament.Drawing from both her time with the dog platoon and her search and rescue career, Tazzie highlights the techniques she has seen from the best handlers. Chief among them is empathy for the dog—being able to see the situation from their point of view and adjusting your training approach accordingly.Tazzie also explains that high-drive does not equal hyperactivity, how to use the least amount of manipulation to get the behaviors that you desire, and why it’s important to apply positive reinforcement and negative punishment as early as possible when training a new dog.Key Topics:An introduction to Tazzie Winkler (01:15)Tazzie’s foray into wilderness search and rescue (05:48)Training a Doberman and other so-called challenging breeds (08:49)Selecting the right dog (11:14)Joining the dog platoon (14:15)What makes a great handler (20:09)Working at Rivanna K9 Services (29:21)Tazzie’s biggest piece of advice to handlers (30:54)Working with a puppy (37:47)Tazzie’s favorite training activity (41:52)Working in the dog sport world (47:49)What Tazzie offers through Empathic Dog Training Academy (50:11)Tazzie’s advice to her younger self (51:58)Resources:Rivanna K9 ServicesUnderstanding the Premack Principle in Dog TrainingSchutzhund VillageWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Talking Dogs with Tazzie Winkler

What to listen for:Living with a powerful, high-drive dog obviously has its set of challenges. That’s even more true when sharing a household with multiple working dogs. In today’s episode, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal open up about the realities of managing the day-to-day lives of dogs bred for work. They explain that drive expresses itself in dogs in a lot of ways owners don’t expect. But no matter how messy or even violent the expression, we must avoid judging our furry friends by the standards of human morality.Our hosts share how they’ve been able to maintain a happy household where their dogs feel safe, and how they’ve navigated days in which almost everything seems to be going wrong. A lot of the work, they found, comes down to taking pressure off of yourself and refusing to slap a label on your dog (ex. “She’s an angry dog/He’s a nervous dog, etc.”).They remind us that the human-dog dynamic is ever-changing by the day, and that we must be aware and adaptable as owners in order to stay in control. Finally, we have to be willing to commit to a regular schedule of care, play, and training, because “it’s not all happiness all the time. It's a daily crate and rotate. It’s a routine and a responsibility.”Key Topics:Managing the day-to-day life of a dog bred for work (04:28)Caring for elderly dogs (09:31)Fulfilling your dog’s needs (15:42)Seeing fights between dogs as teachable moments (19:44)Training, not running, your dogs every day (35:27)Setting boundaries for yourself (37:31)The importance of rest and having a support system (41:20)Knowing which combination of dogs don’t work well (45:11)Acknowledging how a dog feels (49:05)Our takeaways (51:09)Resources:Michael ShikashioPredatory drift in dogsK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 56: Talking K9 Fitness with Bobbie LyonsK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 54: Canine Handler Fitness with Liz JoyceWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
