Baby Panda, 8 weeks old, Great Pyrenees mix. She learned how to sit, turn around and go to a Cato board at her first lesson.

I am not taking any new dogs for training as I will be moving down to Tehachapi shortly for family stuff. One of the best parts of training dogs is getting to know their owners, so thank you all for that opportunity. Aloe is giving a wave goodbye.

This handsome gentleman is Milo, one year old beagle. He learned a few new things today that he will be practicing at home in between cat harassment sessions.

This pretty girl is 8 month old Nova. She is learning a few things to keep herself busy with so she doesn't want to chase the goats.

Little Baby Clover is a year old now and all grown up. She stopped by for a refresher as she goes through her teenage rebel phase.

04/10/2022

This is FiFi, one of our training partners. Our rat wrangler Sam has 2 rats currently, but at least 2 more on the way. The new rats will be of the hairless variety, and it will be interesting to see if the dogs work searches the same way or if these new rats have a really different odor with no hair.

This is Nola, a year-old Great Pyrenees mix on her 4th home. She is now in a great situation with a doting owner and dog sibling, learning to be a great dog.

04/07/2022

Grimm, Reign and Tinsel hot on the trail!

04/06/2022

Meyer with a successful find in the Lost Item Recovery class. An item belonging to his handler is hidden by the judge in a crowded area and he has 2 minutes to locate it.

04/05/2022

Porta-Pottys, trash cans, sometimes the rat can even be up high.

04/04/2022

Not only can the rat hide in a porta-potty, it can also hide in a trash can.

04/02/2022

Zooey and Thor looking all grown up at 8 months old.

04/01/2022

Who knew the rat could be hiding in the porta-potty?

04/01/2022

Bo on the track before he even leaves the start line at his first NASDA trial. He qualified in all 6 of his runs with a couple of first place times.

10 month old Doberman Reign REALLY enjoyed meeting her first rat.

03/16/2022

Aloe takes a break between searches during last weekend's scent detection training in Las Vegas.

03/10/2022

Young Wolfie Falkor was not socialized as a baby so his new handler is making up for lost time. Here he is relaxed enough at Tractor Supply to do some obedience and pose for a photo.

03/08/2022

Bo and Tinsel take a break from trick title practice.

03/07/2022

Maggie shows a classic head snap after she passes the rat and works her way back to the source of the odor.

02/23/2022

Youngsters Tinsel and Bo had a busy lesson today. First they worked on off-leash recalls while it was snowing, then they had a play break, then they had to calm down and refocus to work on some stays. They both exceeded expectations.

Cutest Basset Hound ever, Maggie finding the rat.

Maggie shows a classic head snap after she passes the rat and works her way back to the source of the odor.

In a grooming shop with a million dog smells and distractions Maggie does a great job of finding the rat that is way above her head.

Cutest Basset Hound ever, Maggie finding the rat.

Grimm working on some urban rat locating with his classic dopey style. His ears are the best.

Meyer working a high hide in swirling wind.

Meyer the Lagotto finding a hide in swirling wind in a noisy busy parking lot.

There is much to be impressed by in this video. First, Fynn is not even a year old yet. Second, this is his first session of scent detection work away from home. Third, there was a lot going on at Tractor Supply, traffic, noise, people, dogs. Lastly, he is working on perfecting his down alert that we added to his program recently. Not only did he do really well at this search, he had a couple other successful searches in this area and also did 2 super excellent searches inside the store among the shoppers and employees in tight quarters.

Pit Bull tail in action. Penny works on stays at her second lesson.

Meyer the Lagotto carefully checks each item before he correctly makes the call.

Meyer the Lagotto working hard to pinpoint the exact location of the hide and doing an excellent job.

Pretty boy Bo doing an excellent job of focusing on his handler while other fun things are happening around him.

Almost 4 month old Zooey practices her stay at her first lesson away from home, second lesson overall. She has Aloe nearby and her brother making some noise behind her while he waits his turn and she does a great job of coming back to focus on her handler.

Youngsters Cooper and Bo doing a good job of stays with things going on around them. First, they are being allowed to interact for a few minutes and then asked to sit right next to each other and mind their own business. Second, there is another dog being walked around right next to them. Third, I threw Coopers favorite tug toy over their heads. Such good work.

Baby Fezzik is learning that when he leaves his handler to stick to the odor he's searching for he gets the goodies.

9 month old Maggie showing off her scent-work skills. This is a very tricky odor picture for her to solve, scent is bouncing from the source on the pillar off the wall of the building and there is sort of a wind tunnel blowing through there also. This hide is a good distance above her head, and looking up is a skill that takes dogs a while to master. Her handler did a great job of staying out of her way and letting her take all the time she needed to solve the problem.

11 week old Tinsel practices her sit.

Maggie is the number one NASDA Basset Hound in North America! She picked up rat scent on the cone then caught the air scent and went directly to the rat.
