Young Pup, Big Steps ๐พ
Young Pup, Big Steps ๐พ
In this video, you can clearly see that Roy is still very young and sometimes gets easily distractedโin this case, by the presence of the cameraman. While Roy knows the cameraman well, this situation suddenly caught his attention. Itโs important not to make a problem of it and certainly not to correct. Youโll see Dick staying calm, giving gentle signals, and remaining positive. Soon after, Roy gets back on track.
Roy is learning tracking and indication on grass but is already taking steps towards hard surfaces, as shown here. Training starts easiest and quickest on grass, but making the transition to hard surfaces early is valuable.
Of course, these initial sessions are kept simpleโshort tracks, minimal distractionsโbut weโll build it up quickly!

Wow, itโs truly amazing how fast Roy is learning! Heโs been with us for less than 10 days, and look at the progress heโs already made in tracking training! You can see and hear how well heโs using his nose, following the track with impressive precision.
It never ceases to amaze us how quickly a young pup can learn and how rapidly they can make progress!
Want to take these steps with your pup or older dog? In our online tracking course, we guide you step by step through this training process. Will we see you there soon? ๐

Tracking with Roy: First Steps ๐พ๐ฃ
Tracking with Roy: First Steps ๐พ๐ฃ
In just a few days, Dick has taught Roy to indicate an object with human scent. Now, Roy is already starting his first small tracks in the yard! Of course, not everything goes perfectlyโthese tracks are simple and straightโbut itโs a quick start!
Curious about how we turn scent indication into full-on tracking in such a short time? Our tracking course guides you through teaching your dog to find and indicate small objects in just two weeks, and then building up to tracking!

First Steps of Detection Work with Roy ๐ถ๐
First Steps of Detection Work with Roy ๐ถ๐
When introducing detection work, we always begin by teaching the dog the scent itself. We start with a large scent source (in this case, a big piece of kong) placed between wood. Roy doesnโt need to search too hard yetโhe can even see the kongโbut the goal is for him to repeatedly get the scent in his nose.
Each time Roy moves towards the scent, we mark it with the clicker and immediately reward him. This helps him quickly learn to recognize the scent, and in future sessions, weโll make it smaller and hide it.
Want to teach your dog detection work from the very first step? Our detection work course guides you through every stage, suitable for dogs of any age.

Laser Training with Duke: Precision and Focus ๐๐ก
Laser Training with Duke: Precision and Focus ๐๐ก
Duke has been trained to run to a point where the handler shines a laser light on command. This technique can later be used for searching in hard-to-reach places or even for bite work, by pointing out a person in the distance with the laser.
In this training, Duke hears the marker "yes" when he reaches the laser spot, then runs back to be rewarded with his ball. It's a great way to build focus and precision!

Preparing Dana for Bite Work with Focus and Calmness ๐๐ช
Preparing Dana for Bite Work with Focus and Calmness ๐๐ช
Before we start bite work with Dana, we want her to stay calm and focused. Thatโs why we begin this training using a ball instead of a decoy. If we were to introduce a decoy right away, there would be much more excitement, and it would be harder for Dana to think clearly and make good choices.
In this video, Dana is in a down position, focusing on the handler. When she looks at the handler, she receives the command "stellen" and can grab the ball. This same process will be used later for bite work.
It's all about building focus and control before adding more excitement!

KNPV Water Exercises: Building the Foundation on Land First ๐๐
KNPV Water Exercises: Building the Foundation on Land First ๐๐
In the KNPV program, there are water exercises where the dog must swim across to the other side. For the past few years, weโve been training the foundation for this without water. We teach the basics by having the dog cross a road in a controlled manner and lie down at a cone on the other side.
This method allows us to train the fundamentals, and later, when we move to water training, we bring the cone along and place it on the other side. The dog already knows whatโs expected, making the swimming transition much smoother.
Did you know that with our Premium+ membership, you get access not only to all our courses but also to every KNPV instructional video?

Obedience Training with Danger: Small Dog, Big Motivation! ๐๐จ
Obedience Training with Danger: Small Dog, Big Motivation! ๐๐จ
Itโs always amazing to see how much motivation, speed, and pure joy little Danger brings to these obedience exercises ๐. Despite not having a strong prey drive, Danger has an incredible amount of enthusiasm during training.
Unlike many dogs who are rewarded with a toy, Danger is motivated by his regular foodโjust his daily kibble, no special treats needed!
Training doesnโt have to be complicated or involve special rewards. Want to learn how to motivate your dog like Danger? Explore our training courses:
