I've been wondering how to get started and you have simplified the whole process for me and I really appreciate it and i will follow this.... Please keep teaching
This was a pretty good walkthrough of a step-by-step. I already have my dog trained on find it in the house and now I'm working on taking it outside. The slow motion Parts in this video had me cracking up though. I would also like to see the training part of marking.
@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland no , by marking, I mean the dog is showing me where "it" is. My dog can find it really well. I want to work on the part where she shows me where "it" is.
@@jeromesadlo9470 yes, your “marking” is what scent work trainers call “alert” behavior. I have a video on how to train the alert. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nk9rcjuEQN0.htmlsi=t-F0fSTNUTJKPaq8
@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland okay cool i watched it, thank you! my key takeaway was that you are rewarding the dog for both the scent and the behavior. And that skipping that part can lead to just the alert without finding the scent. Appreciate it!
Do you only use birch oil for training purposes? After your dog has an understanding of the cue "Find It", would you then be able to change the scent and train to "Find It" for the new scent?
I train birch and anise in the first lesson. After introducing birch, I introduce anise. I put both in the boxes and the exterior search. They’re pretty proficient at both by the end of the first lesson. This is my newer video where I train 2 odors in the first lesson. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ohb5RkLnNwc.html
I do like more boxes. If you’re using less, I would put the boxes in a circle and go around the circle until your dog finds odor about 10 times. Give him a break and repeat in the other direction.
Could you show how you train for sent discrimination, but for articles in utility? My Decker Rat Terrier has a great nose but is confused. When she goes to articles she picks up first one. She thinks she’s retrieving. I am putting my sent on article. And having her sniffing my hand before I send her. This is my first obedience dog. So I have quite a steep learning curve.
Dogs will normally eat food treats if you incorporate prey drive into the delivery of the food. The only dogs in my class that did not respond to prey drive are dogs with health problems.
