Trusting your gut while working with a Human Remains Detection dog isn’t always straightforward. Why? The need for objectivity.

Handlers are trained to focus on systematic approaches—understanding odor theory, reading the dog’s behavior, and applying scientific methods. This focus on data and observable signs can sometimes overshadow gut feelings, which are more subjective.

But remember, a blend of science and intuition often leads to the best outcomes. Trust the process, but don’t ignore your instincts.

Mistakes Are the Path to Success

If you’re afraid of failing, you’re holding yourself back.

Every great Handler has made a wrong call at some point—it’s how we learn. Trusting your gut means accepting the possibility of mistakes, then using them to level up.

Your Dog Knows. Do You?

Your dog has zero doubts about what it sniffs—so why are you doubting your calls? The best teams aren’t perfect, but they trust each other.

Follow your instincts; your dog is already a pro at following theirs."

Lead by example!

Just as we guide our dogs with consistent actions, effective leaders set the standard for others to follow.

Every cue, every action, every moment matters in building trust and showing the way. Whether it's in training, missions, or daily life, your leadership sets the tone.

How are you modeling the way for your dog today?

Overcoming the Fear of Mistakes

The fear of getting it wrong can freeze you in place, but here’s the truth: You’re going to make mistakes.

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress. Trust your instincts, learn from the outcomes, and keep moving forward.

Great leaders inspire a shared vision, building a partnership rooted in trust and purpose. Aligning your goals with your dog’s natural abilities creates harmony and amplifies success.

Leadership in detection work is about collaboration, inspiring your dog with clarity and intention. When you and your dog share a vision, your potential as a team becomes limitless.

At The Society For Dogs, we champion intentional leadership, creating space for growth and connection.



Start with a vision, lead with purpose, and grow together—because true leadership is a partnership.

The Data Isn’t Everything

Sometimes, all the charts and stats in the world can’t tell you what your gut already knows.

Dogs work in real time, and so do you. Don’t let the need for 'hard evidence' stop you from making the right call.

Leadership in detection work begins with a shared vision, where intentionality and clarity drive success for both Handler and dog.

In our weekly ThinkTank discussions at The Society For Dogs, we explore how aligning goals with a dog’s instincts fosters trust and purpose. Through collaboration and shared insights, we embrace continuous learning and adapt to new challenges together as a Community.

By focusing on self-awareness and understanding your dog’s behavior, you create the foundation for excellence in detection work. We believe leadership is about inspiring growth in both yourself and your dog through deliberate practice and intentional training.

At Dog Merickel, our discussions and shared learning create the tools and mindset needed for you and your dog to achieve your shared mission with confidence.

Trust Is a Skill, Not a Feeling

Trusting your gut isn’t about feeling confident—it’s about practicing confidence.

The more you rely on your instincts and learn from the outcomes, the sharper they become. Start trusting, start growing.

HRD is Special!

Not to be dramatic, but HRD work is kind of a big deal. You and your dog are doing something extraordinary, something not everyone is cut out for. So, yeah, give yourself some credit.

But here’s the catch: extraordinary work deserves extraordinary effort. Mediocrity has no place here. Show up, do the work, and strive for excellence—not because anyone’s watching, but because your dog (and the people you serve) deserve your best.

What’s one way you’re committing to excellence this week? Drop it in the comments and let’s raise the bar together.

True leadership is about fostering trust and encouraging your dog to take confident, independent actions in the field.

At Dog Merickel, we focus on creating training plans that develop your dog’s skills while reinforcing a bond of mutual respect. By encouraging your dog to act with purpose, you’re not just guiding them—you’re building a partnership where both of you thrive.

In The Society For Dogs, we collaborate to share strategies that strengthen teamwork and inspire independence in every task.

So fun training with Whatman Papers today. Not hard to “soak”, they seemed to keep for a long time and for us in the snow- it’s relaxing not to worry about other aids getting wet (moldy) or lost (eek). Sometimes these types of aids are awesome!

Ahhh some fun we had the other week - before all the snow - and since it’s important, we thought we’d giggle and share. You have an emergency stop? At any level? Let’s see it. ❤️ ya.

The Charger LOVES to swim to her target. Here’s a little edit of water training from today. Hope you’re enjoying your training this weekend!

The Charger enjoying our afternoon training.

The simple things can be the GREAT things. Go on a walk with your K9, without your "to do list", without talking on your phone or scrolling as your drag your dog along. Lol. Go let your dog be free to do "dog things" and watch. You'll learn, and your dog will thing you are FANTASTIC! It was really cold this morning, LOL Enjoy!! #DogMerickel #DogTrainer #DogTraining #WorkingDog #K9 #HistoricGraveDogDetection #HRD #detectiondog #DogScience
