Punch Passes do not expire and you can use more than one dog for one card. I keep track of your punches and will let you know when you are nearing the 10 punches. Once a punch is purchased you will be added to the group chat where I will ask for who is coming each week and make a run order.

If you would like to join our working group and purchase a punch pass please email [email protected] and I can set you up. There is no limit to our working group, the more the merrier, but also the more the longer group will be. Dogs will be kenneled in your vehicles.

🟣🟡2024 Winter Class🟡🟣

Foundations:
The dates are Feb 4, 11, 18, 25, March 3, 10.
$120 for 6 weeks
5:45pm - 6:45pm
5 spots available (2 spots left)

In this class you will begin to learn and build solid foundations for your scent detection dogs. Commitment to odor, odor recognition, basic searches, and beginnings of alerting behaviors. You will be introduced to at least 2 of the 3 SDDA odors, and will begin to learn to ignore proofing items and distractors. Dogs in this class will work as a group and 1 at a time depending on what we are working on. Dogs MUST be kenneled when we are working one dog at a time or in small groups so you will be required to bring a kennel to class.

Scent kits can be purchased for at home practicing at a cost of $30 for a complete SDDA scent kit.

Please email [email protected] to register. Classes fill quickly so you may be waitlisted. Depending on interest a 2nd class may be offered from 7pm - 8pm. Confirmations of enrollment will be sent by Jan 15th, 2024.

**at this time we do not accept dogs with aggression or bite history**

This week's working group focussed on container searches. I found our excellent search particularly interesting. During our walkthrough most of our handlers commented how the search was "4 clusters of 4 and a random container".

What was interesting was most of the handlers wanted to search it like that, clearing a section of 4 then moving on, while most of the dogs wanted to search it in rows.

It was a neat discussion to have afterwards with the handlers about how the dog wanted to search it. I think it was eye opening on how to view containers and how important walkthroughs are EVEN IN CONTAINERS.

I know I will look at a variety of ways to do a search now and take into consideration how my dog searches.

How would you normally tackle this search? Have you ever thought about this type of set up in rows?
