“Coffee Thoughts: Odor Detection Edition” quick, hopefully insightful 😜, and caffeine-fueled ☕ reflections on the art and science of odor detection.

Today’s Brewed Thought: "An obedient dog defers to us. An independent dog dares to think, and trusts reinforcement will come." - Integrity Nose Worx

We spend so much time teaching dogs to follow commands...
that we forget they need to learn how to make decisions.

In odor detection, you don’t want a dog waiting for permission or support.

You want a dog who knows what to do, without asking.
- Obedience builds control.
- Operant behavior builds confidence, through competence and reinforcement.

The transition happens when the dog stops looking to you for guidance… and starts solving the problem because they believe they can. They know if they make good choices, reinforcement will come.

Train to build thinking dogs, not just compliant or reliant ones.

"Train obedience, and they’ll wait. Train independence, and they’ll work."

I’ll say it right now- AdCo’s K-9 unit are some of the best in the state. Love those deputies!

Mighty Thor! Thor just turned four months and before his owner heads off to college, she wanted to make sure her dog wasn’t unruly. Super excited to help them grow because he’s absolutely a bit of a handful. But those are the kinds of dogs we love!

From unruly and slightly reactive. To calm and confident. Well done Candy. She and her owners finished up our general obedience program with flying colors. Very proud of all of them for implementing a plan that works for them all.

There’s so many trainers out there! And with no standard to our industry it’s hard to choose the one that works for you? But let’s talk about standards and certs. Trainers who seek to continually grow and expand their knowledge are at the forefront of this industry. Whether they attend webinars or in-person conferences. Weekend workshops or even seeking to compete, trial, or certify their dog in some discipline, I firmly believe that sets god trainers apart from great ones. Those who seek to push their skillsets to the furthest possible level. I hated dog sports. But it gave me an opportunity to learn new skills to apply to pet and police working dogs. I never thought about handling a working dog. But certifying a bomb detection dog gave me a new opportunity to explore real world discipline and understanding certain behaviors, while also reading small nuances in behavioral changes. As you look to find a trainer, ask them about their credentials. Do they seek further education? Can they show you some certificates? Trainers who invest in their selves, subsequently are investin in you, their target audience. To see our credentials - check out marathonk9.com/about
