What to listen for:“When you have that young dog, don’t put out that super hard hide. You don’t have that reinforcement history.”Our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss one of the most crucial elements of canine nosework: hide placement! Listen in as the Dames of Detection walk us through what we need to consider regarding our environment and our particular dog’s abilities, the proper use of Q tips, as well as setting multiple hides of varying odor profiles.They also speak on the nuances of firearms detection as compared to cadaver detection, and what you need to be cautious of when searching cars and other vehicles, as well as hides in elevated or otherwise inaccessible areas. To wrap up, our hosts talk about the merits of adding distraction elements in training for inaccessible hides.
