NOSEWORK CLASS STARTING SOON:
Jackie and Aaron are teaching the dogs the intro to Nosework which we will start up again very soon as a group class. Nosework is teaching your dog to find hidden scents, at first getting them use to finding it in your hand results in a treat reward from the table or treat pouch.
After that we cross the hands so that the dog has to discern which hand it is in instead of just one hand. Later we teach them to search boxes for the hidden scent and then move on to more advanced searches where the scent is hidden in a small container and placed in a room out of sight.
We will offer the class on Wednesdays at 8pm in the near future. It'll be a subscription class so that you can continue your dog's learning to the advanced levels.
Michael will teach the first class and later on Jackie and Aaron will take them over. Michael is a former Police K9 Officer who trained dogs to detect narcotics, hidden people, cadaver, and explosives. His current dog Kaboom took first place at a UKC trial with his dog finding the scent within 4 seconds.
Stay tuned so you can discover the fun and exciting world of Nosework.

To better serve our clients, we have switched our Client Relationship Management (CRM) system from PocketSuite to ConnectXperts (CX). It is a more robust system.
We made this change in February 2024 but continued PocketSuite in the background in case someone didn’t know about the change.
However, it is now time for us to totally cease using PocketSuite as CX is live and working effectively.
Therefore, please contact us through CX by text or phone at our new number 734-892-1447.
Our email remains [email protected]

Vahan is becoming an expert on his “place” command while his dad, Pearce, hits golf balls around. Soon he’ll be able to join his dad on the golf course.

Little Sage and big Tig practiced their Service Dog Public Access Obedience at the airport. They did awesome! In this video, they practice healing on loose leash, amongst crowds, rolling suitcases and the moving luggage carousel. After they went around the carousel several times they were positioned near the carousel as if the handler was waiting to grab their luggage. Tig wasn’t put on a sit because he will be a mobility service dog, which requires him to remain standing for his handlers support.
Vohan learns to stay on place as if it was a golf cart while his dad swings at an improvised golf ball.

Here's a video of Calli, a MDT Service Dog graduate, at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) practicing her public access skills. Look at her calmly and expertly uploading to the people mover belt. MDT offers two types of Service Dog Training; a 8 week board and train and a Train Your Own Service Dog program (includes up to 20 private lessons). #michigandogtraining, #michigandogtrainer, #servicedogtraining, #servicedog, #Romulus, #RomulusMI, #DTW, #DetroitMetro, #detroitmetroairport
Tig is being trained at MDT in our board and train Service Dog Program to be a mobility service dog for his dad. Prior to training, he would refuse to get into a vehicle. Just imagine how difficult it was for his dad to try to get big Tig into his vehicle. Tig also didn't like the idea of learning the "place" command (to go up on something). But the MDT Trainers have been diligently working with Tig and look at him now! #michigandogtraining, #michigandogtrainer, #dogtraining, #servicedogtraining, #dogboardandtrain, #servicedog, #rottweiler, #plymouthmi, #plymouthmichigan
