How Indica feel’s after her visits with new people and a good representation of once the caffeine kicks in for me! 💃🏼Thanks Superbloom Coffee House for the delicious beverage and outdoor space for us to chill, sip an ice latte, and to practice good people interactions! Indy is a current foster for training and outings in hopes to help her get adopted quicker and to break up her wait time at the shelter. If interested in Indy, reach out to Eva Burrell Animal Shelter!#dogtraining #dogtrainer #rescuedog #shelterdog #buylocal #localbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #upperpeninsulamichigan #upperpeninsulamichigan #dandddogdynamics #fosterdog #fosteringsaveslives
What’s happening in the background whenever I go through training videos… someone gets some FOMO 😂
Quick stop, but a neat stop. Graffiti Garden✌️🌸#graffiti #graffitiart #k9nuke #workingdog #germanshepherd #gsd
If you aren’t having at least some fun while training you aren’t doing something right🤪
This weeks group training included some car chase, bail out, and door pop scenarios!🚔🐾
Group training days are my favorite training days🐾
Pictures.
In training it’s important to expose your dog to a variety of situations and scenarios. Presenting as many different scene pictures as possible in training is crucial. The more variety we train, the better prepared a dog and handler will be in real life scenarios. It’s always better to over prepare for what you may encountered.
For example, in building search training if we only ever have the decoy hiding behind the door, a dog may struggle to check elsewhere during a search. Think of it like ultimate hide and seek. We make sure there’s a variety of hiding spaces trained at various difficulty levels like under a bed, under a pile of clothes, in attic spaces, large boxes, refrigerators, cabinets, etc. And when we come across a new type of hiding space in a building, we have fun with it and take advantage like in this video. While helping at Fresh Coast K9, LLC‘s academy earlier this year, when myself and Antrim County Sheriff K9 handler came across this in floor hatch to access piping, we couldn’t resist incorporating it into training.
An upcoming work contract will require Nuke to wear protective footwear due to working on some toasty asphalt. His boots (Ruffwear) came in today so of course I had to document his first try on! 😂 Little bit of a rocky start relearning how to walk, but over all he caught on quick!
