K9 Nose Work Shelter Project is flexible. While we have a certain protocol that can get most any dog searching, we saw something in Felipe that made us want to try and bypass the first three lessons and go straight to searching an Interior space for a piece of cheese.

Of course our Interior space is our training hut with all kinds of dog food, treats, toys, beds and cow hoofs and bully sticks out.

We let Felipe check out the room and then put a piece of cheese out. Had to get him to the area of it before his nose kicked on and he went to find it. Repeated this three times for him to figure it out and then took him outside, hid a piece of cheese and let him in to search. This was the third search. The first and second were equally as impressive.

Thanks Jane Hansen for this video and update on what’s going on at the Humane Society of North Central Florida. Love it!! Today we were able to do some nosework enrichment with Buzzy Aldrin ( 1 year old male) and Selena( 5 year old female) in our thrift store which is closed to the public on Mondays. Not only were they able to search for chicken in boxes and on some shelves , but they also were able to enjoy all the “ thrift store” smells! Thanks Nancy O Malley, Diane Reed and Kerry Chancey ! Both of these dogs are available for adoption at the Humane Society of North Central Florida!

· NEXT Webinar: Building Duration at Source with Gail McCarthy
o Monday July 14, 2025
o 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time
WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
Detection Dog Training is all about communication. We condition a dog to hunt for, and to find, a target odor and then to communicate that find to handler. The mantra that Gail follows is, “Hunt, Find, Commit.”
In training, the handler should learn to read the dog’s changes of behavior (COBs) which communicate to the handler that the dog has reached source. However, if the dog’s communication is too fleeting for reasons we will elaborate on, or if you simply are not able to read your dog’s changes of behavior, then it makes it difficult for you to know if your dog is at source.
