We were honored to be invited to work with Protective Force International in support of security operations for the F1 races in Las Vegas this weekend.
It was a great experience, worked with a great group of other K9 Officers and EST officers along with Las Vegas Metro Officers.
Looking forward to the next event!

We’ve been working with Shaneel and Kenai for the last few months preparing for his certification in explosives detection.
Since moving to ScentLogix training aids, we’ve noticed his search intensity is much higher. He is learning to follow a larger scent cone to source and work the area much better.
We are able to do hides that are deeper, (farther back away from the “walking path”) as well as higher above and he is finding them quicker and with no help.
This video is from a couple weeks ago when we purposely worked outside with a good wind, cars going by, etc.
A couple notes on the video…
* The wind is actually blowing Left to Right so the dog started up-wind from the odor. We did this on purpose.
* The odor is placed in the metal grating about 30 inches back in from front and side from where the dog sits, and had been there about 10 minutes.
* The handler is very new and is still learning. (She couldn’t see the odor when she looked, but we reinforced the “Trust your dog” on this one.
* Just before the dog indicates, you’ll see him literally “pull” the handler up the side of the metal grating to source.
Great job Shaneel and Kenai!! You guys are killin’ it!!
Had to get Leara some new shoes for her upcoming work… gotta keep the feet protected.
So we put them on her and ran a few hides to be sure she wouldn’t be too over distracted to search… she wasn’t…
Still hunted like a machine and love seeing her head-whip at the end!
Love this damn dog!

Took a break from serious training tonight and took the littles dock diving for their first time in the pool!
Toretto was a little bit cautious and had to figure out the whole “jump in the water” thing, while Cypher just didn’t give 2 craps.
She picked up on the whole run-jump thing super fast!
Huge thanks to Theresa and Craig for the opportunity to come down and play in the water.
Can’t wait to put Cypher in the puppy class for competition!!

Every dog starts somewhere… this was maybe the 4th short session for Toretto. He is starting to learn non-verbal positioning using only luring with treats and a marker when he gets paid in the right position.
On the last one, I step into the position to pay him. I want him to understand where we are in relation to each other when he gets paid. We will refine and work on making him move into position later, but for now we are simply creating a picture.
Not beautiful, I know that, but we all have to start somewhere! Toretto is focused, willing to work and damn handsome!

Make sure sound is on.
This little girl is beyond spitfire… and I friggen love it!
All I had in my hand was a ball… then she said enough is enough and went full land shark.
This kid is going to be something else!

Leara has always been trained to be neutral to people when working. But when the odor is on people, it’s a whole new thought process… we got the chance while working in Las Vegas last week to do a little training with our team and the help of folks from ICRWDA.
This was Leara’s first exposure to this and after this one was checking everyone! She caught on super quick.
Thank you Ryan and your Daughter for playing decoy! Thanks @davismolly207 for the tips on moving subjects! Love learning new concepts!

Little Cypher doing some bitework today. This little girl has no fear, no environmental, and loves the game.
Cannot wait to see her grow into a PSA competitor and detection dog.
Only our second time off the dock and Leara actually jumped... of course we are NOT showing her swimming, cuz frankly, she can't, she looks more like a drowning rat in a river, but, she jumps in, gets the tug, and gets back to the edge!
And she loves the water! So it's fun for her.

Cypher comin' in hot.
Love the lip lick as she gets ready to grab the bite pillow.
This litter is amazing at 16 weeks!

Green and Silver with the smackdown tonight...
Be sure you watch from 35 seconds to about 50 seconds... then see the headtilt by silver right before they look at me!
Still availability for a couple pups ready early September...
