One week conditioning
In one week we went from eating out of the muzzle to a decent hold in the muzzle without food. Quality training once a day can yield solid results
Muzzle
Muzzle introduction for Reaper!
Reaper was home from 2200hrs to 0100! I believed he missed me!!! And we are working on his aerobatic take downs!!! Dswk Du Fraddicalu
Michael and Toriās first day doing vehiclesā¦ as expected it started off rough see it was new to handler and dog, but this was the last run of the day!! Vast improvement!!!
I forgot I put the food up there, but thanks to reaper we found it. Little kiddo impressed me everyday š
Day 2 of imprinting heroinā¦ when the light bulb turns on and they learn to value a vehicle. Such a beautiful sight
When you are trying to imprint some narcs. Pretty typical dogs or pups jumping onto cars and not having a clue how to search a car. This is fun and requires patience of a saint!!! Reaper learning though after 4 times

So, few years ago Luna did this similar track as a live deployment.. its a very urban type track with a ton of foot traffic all day long up until businesses close. so Iets give reaper a good picture of a real track he can possible conduct in the futureā¦. 4 lane highway crossing etc.
