BASTARDS 😂😂😂😂 (warning explicit language)
Olly showing the young trainee labs how it is done, with a nice re indication throwing in there for good measures. Such a cocky wee bugger 😊
Young Skye today hitting the mark again in training. This young lady is almost ready to be leaving us and joining her handler. She in now fully imprinted and searching extremely confidently with live bodies in various venues and accompanied with a beautiful follow and solid indication. Going to be sad to see this wee girl leave us, she has been a joy.
Olly playing at being a big dog tonight and trying to win a game of tug with his dad 😂😂
Lovely progression from Red who has been with us almost four weeks. He is fully imprinted on the five main target scents he is trained to find and is searching with great confidence both on the frames and with live bodies.
We have worked extremely hard on his focus and indication which has now become extremely solid.
Few more weeks to go in his progression and working on following and indication with moving lines.
Charley demonstrating her chances of winning gold for Scotland in the commonwealth games 😂😂
Team Mandy demonstrating a great follow today with Buddy tracking down the source and finishing with a solid indication. Just three weeks away from their assessment day and looking strong.
Thank you again to all my amazing volunteers for your continued support each week. Hope you enjoyed training outside today.
Week three for young Skye and coming along nicely. She now is on 4 target odours and her indication is shaping up well and being obedient to the odour.
Unfortunately this week I have been recovering from a chest infection so she back on search frames but is searching well on live bodies also. Progression the next couple weeks will be with her follow which she has already started.
Proud of this big boy yesterday. Magnus doing some distraction training during a passive search. A few months ago the volunteers would have been bowling pins.
Well done team.
Skye being introduced to searching live bodies and showing lots of confidence for her very first attempt.
Young Skye moving along in her next phase of training this week, learning how to search on passive frames and producing a solid sit. She is now fully imprinted on her first odour and picking up everything with ease.
Absolutely loving the search game, Maggie now also learning to work through distraction odours and being called away once she has indicated. This young lady is going to be a beautiful dog once she is finished.
Young Maggie today learning to be obedient to the odour, staying with it no matter what, even when being called or distracted until she hears her clicker. Great progress from this 11 month old.
Lovely progression today from young clemmie, who is now imprinted on her first odour and searching well of leash with a solid sit indication.
Looking forward to seeing her progress over the coming weeks.
One day of training left before their NASDU drug detection handler assessment next week, team Loki and Bronwyn absolutely smashing it today with moving lines and a great follow and indication. I am very proud of the level you have both been able to obtain😊
Day 9 for team Becks & Magnus today on their passive course and absolutely smashing it. Big boy worked hard today and coped extremely well with lots of movement and flow of bodies in the search area, well done team😊
Last week of training for 9 month old Maisie before she returns back to my client for more environmental training.
She has now been fully imprinted on all target odours and will free search people with very little tasking. This week I have now managed to work and strengthen her sit indication to where she won’t leave the target odour.
I look forward to seeing this young lady in a years time with some operational deployments under her belt.
Well done young lady😊
What a difference a week makes. Young Maisie progressing along very nicely. She is now fully understanding target odours and remaining obedient to them. We will be progressing with adding live bodies and a sit indication in the coming week, well done young lady😊
Young Maggie May out doing some environmental training today and learning her craft. 7 months old and coming along nicely, looking forward to seeing her progress over the coming months.
Maisie, doing a free search on her first passive frame session and having no problem identifying her target substance. Follow this young ladies progress over the coming weeks.
