Consistency in Dog Training Pt 1 1:00:01

cách đây 2 ngày trước1:00:01

1:00:01

What to listen for: “You’re constantly writing and rewriting a contract with your dog.” Today, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing tackle the power of consistency, the pitfalls of “lumpy” training, and why even small slip-ups can throw your dog off track. They break down how to build a rock-solid training environment and avoid the hidden traps that sabotage progress. “The clearer and more predictable you are, the faster your dog will learn.” Our hosts swap real-life stories about cue associations—the good, the bad, and the hilarious. From verbal missteps to accidental signals, they reveal how tiny inconsistencies can shape (or derail) your dog’s responses. Whether you’re training a pet or a working dog, clear communication is everything. “Inconsistent timing leads to inconsistent outcomes.” And for the sport and search-and-rescue trainers out there, this episode digs deep into the power of precision and clarity when it comes to reinforcing behaviors. The Dames of Detection challenge quick-fix mentalities, explore discipline-specific mindsets, and make the case for mastering the mechanics that take training to the next level. Tune in next time for part two of this three-part series on consistency in dog training! Key Topics: Why is Consistency Important? (00:00) Using Inconsistency Strategically to Highlight Contrast in Your Training (09:18) Different Forms of Consistency (14:05) “Accidental” Consistency (24:06) How Timing Impacts Consistency (25:58) Behaviors: Observe, Mark, Pause, Reward (42:00) Reinforcement of Mechanics Requires Precision and Clarity (48:16) Resources: Decoding Trainer Lingo (image) K9 Detection Collaborative Ep 11 : The D’s of Detection Work K9 Detection Collaborative Ep 134 : How Do I Pick My Criteria?

How Do I Pick My Criteria? 57:52

cách đây 16 ngày trước57:52

57:52

What to listen for: Training your dog to adhere to your criteria consistently is not a cut-and-dry process. It’s one of the trickiest balancing acts in dog training: when to hold the line and when to make adjustments within behavior chains. “Consistency is not about perfection, but predictability.” Dog handling, whether for sport or operational detection, is both an art and a science–which means embracing flexibility and precision in equal measure. Our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing outline their best strategies for deciding on your dog’s foundational behaviors according to their respective strengths, and knowing when to make tweaks as you build upon them. “Your criteria is a conversation, not a contract.” Our hosts break down the three keys to maintaining a complex behavior chain in various scenarios: clarity , consistency , and flexibility . By using these three as your anchor points as a handler, you’ll set yourself and your dog up for success in any scenario. “Temporary adjustment is not the same as a permanent compromise.” The Dames of Detection also look into tailoring techniques to individual dogs and handlers. Because a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work, our hosts stress the importance of balancing fun with the need to address potential long-term behavior issues. By understanding each dog's personality and recognizing which stimuli fail to align with their intended behaviors early on, you can quickly nip problems in the bud and reinforce behavior chains more efficiently than before! Key Topics: What is Being Judged? (03:48) Clarity, Consistency, Flexibility (12:50) Deciding On Your Must-Have Behavior (18:10) Criteria as Conversation (30:00) Training Low-Drive Dogs (32:54) Strengthening Long Chains of Complex Behavior (37:09) Adapting Criteria to Your Dog’s Personality and Strengths (43:53) Key Takeaways (50:50) We want to hear from you: Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!

Getting the Most Out of Virtual Coaching 1:00:35

cách đây 4 weeks trước1:00:35

1:00:35

What to listen for: Today in K9 Detection Collaborative, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss the keys to successful virtual training. “Virtual coaching is student-driven. Anything propelled by student drive, drives results.” Making the switch from in-person to online coaching can be a tough sell for many. But as our hosts explain, there can be many limitations to your growth as a handler when you confine yourself to local training sessions. “When you’re stuck in your local area, your access to truly top instructors is limited.” That said, virtual learning isn't without its hurdles, especially for those who feel self-conscious on camera or yearn for hands-on instruction. But, as the Dames of Detection remind us, that’s mostly a matter of time–you will get used to communicating on camera the more you do it! At the end of the day, the pros far outweigh the cons. Among other things, you get access to the best of the best, and can even receive personalized training plans from them. Online training truly opens new doors, allowing us to juggle busy schedules, balance personal commitments, and continue our passion for K9 education, even while on the road! Key Topics: The Benefits of Virtual Coaching (03:19) What if You Prefer In-Person Training? (10:27) How Online Classes Connect You with Top Instructors (14:32) Private Versus Group Classes (18:20) What Allows Students to Thrive During Virtual Sessions?

What Else Should You NOT Do with Your Dog? 54:11

cách đây 6 weeks trước54:11

54:11

What to listen for: Our hosts Robin, Stacy, and Crystal tackle not just the technical, but also the legal considerations of cross-training your dogs. After all, when a dog is run through both narcotics and explosives detection work and engaged in a high-stakes operation, the consequences can be disastrous if they are unable to respond to the right odors on time–simply because their training emphasizes diversity over specialization. At the same time, if done strategically, it is possible to cross-train in order to supplement detection ability, rather than cause frustration as odors compete in the field. But it’s not just your dog’s interests and strengths that you have to consider, but your own as a handler as well. The Dames of Detection invite us to find our “why” when thinking about cross-training our canine. We need to consider our particular skill set and career goals before adding more training to our plate. Are you more interested in athletics and competition, or are you dedicated exclusively to search-and-rescue? Are you focused on live or cadaver search? These elements all play a role in the decision to cross-train a dog! Key Topics: Can a Dog Do All The Things? (00:00) Cross-Training in a Way That Avoids Putting Odors in Competition (12:39) Knowing Your Why (21:55) Cross-Training Your Dog for Live and Cadaver Search (37:17) How to Use Cross-Training to Complement Your Interests and Abilities as a Handler (47:29) Resources: K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 54 : Canine Handler Fitness with Liz Joyce K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 56 : Talking K9 Fitness with Bobbie Lyons K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 81 : Talking Nutrition, Fitness, and Training with Ronny LeJeune K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 40 : K9 Cross Training: What Else We Do with Our Dogs We want to hear from you: Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!

Reflections on Chatting with Denise Fenzi 56:37

cách đây 8 weeks trước56:37

56:37

What to listen for: Our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, reflect on their recent two-part conversation with Denise Fenzi and her strategies for ensuring steady, measurable progress when training your dog. “Learning is a fragile place. Being correct is a reward in itself.” Denise is a staunch advocate for finding your compass—a guiding principle that does wonders not just in your career as a handler, but in your personal life as well. This, along with understanding that learning requires humility , is key to navigating the chain of complex behaviors your dog goes through in the field. “If you want your dog’s behavior to change, you have to change yours first.” Self-reflection was another key theme in their chat with Denise, who explained that successful handlers see vulnerability as a superpower when training their dog. That’s why it’s important to track progress not just by skills learned but by demeanor as well. And as you monitor that progress, Denise encourages going for slow, gradual tweaks to prevent overwhelm. Finally, the Dames of Detection give their take on Denise’s philosophy around repetition and rewards. In particular, they break down the power of structuring your training around five repetitions per command, and why it pays to embrace creativity and pattern interrupts when your training hits a slump. Key Topics: Find Your Compass (02:06) Learning is a Fragile Place (09:13) The Value of Self-Reflection (14:03) The Power of Minor Tweaks (21:53) What to Know About Repetition in Training (29:12) Don’t Be Afraid of Trying Something New (42:25) “Let’s Go!”: A Case Study (50:10) Upcoming Events and Happenings!

A Conversation with Denise Fenzi Part 2: Choosing the Right Dog for the Job 1:02:58

cách đây 10 weeks trước1:02:58

1:02:58

What to listen for: In part two of their discussion with the brilliant Denise Fenzi, our hosts Robin Greubel and Crystal Wing explore the delicate dance between striving for precision and cherishing the quirks of canine behavior! “Your dog has to have a lot of ‘want to.’ If they don’t have a lot of ‘want to,’ they’re not the right dog for the job.” Denise explains why picking the right dog for the job from the get-go is foundational to success. When you bring a dog with the right desire to the table, your job as a handler–controlling and shaping that desire–becomes much easier. She also talks about identifying essential behaviors like a reliable whistle recall and advocates for a training philosophy driven by motivation and enthusiasm rather than obligation. She tackles ethical dilemmas faced in high-pressure operations and tells us to always prioritize the well-being of both the dog and the handler. Denise also discusses the controversial use of e-collars and the pursuit of perfect recall. She explores the sensitive topic of rehoming, advocating for it as a positive solution when there is a mismatch between the dog's needs and the owner's expectations. “Leadership is about setting a path. You can’t take on a leadership position if you’re not willing to say unpopular things.” Denise gives her thoughts on leadership and personal growth through the lens of dog training. Early socialization, adaptability, and setting boundaries are crucial themes in building confidence and respect in dogs. Finally, Denise tells us why she believes dogs are being over-socialized today, and why she’s totally against doggie daycare for puppies! Key Topics: Reinforcing Nonnegotiable Behaviors (02:28) Choosing the Right Dog for the Job (10:00) Rehoming Your Dog (22:05) Denise’s Thoughts on Negative Online Discourse (22:34) Setting Boundaries and Becoming a Better Leader (32:11) Giving Your Dog Freedom (43:05) Box Feeding (47:33) What’s Next for Denise?

A Conversation with Denise Fenzi Part 1: A Humane Approach to Building Behavior Chains 46:03

cách đây 12 weeks trước46:03

46:03

What to listen for: “If I cannot, in five repetitions, isolate a variable down and get it where I want it, I do need to stop. That doesn't mean the next time we'll be successful. What that tells me is, don't do the same thing again and again and again. And there's been a lot of variation. Isolate that variable. It looks good now. Put it back in a chain, it doesn't look good. What have I done wrong?” In part one of this two-part discussion, Robin Greubel and Crystal Wing sit down with special guest Denise Fenzi, a trainer and educator who specializes in building cooperation, joy, and extreme precision in competition dog sports teams. “Patterns lead to confidence. Unpredictable leads to listening.” Famous for breaking down complex concepts into bite-sized lessons, Denise does a deep dive into a training philosophy that stresses adaptability and prioritizing the dog’s wellbeing. She discusses how to build your dog’s vocabulary via strategic repetition, as well as her approach to encouraging or disrupting behavioral patterns during training. “The more ways you generalize the behavior, the better the dog gets at those behaviors.” Denise shares why tools like choke chains and e-collars might be a thing of the past, and why tailored, humane options like aversives better enhance understanding and cooperation between you and your dog–which in turn fosters a bond built on trust and respect rather than pain and fear. “A behavior chain is simply a bunch of behaviors strung together, so you have to get comfortable with degrees of messiness.” Finally, Denise unravels the complexities of behavior chains and the balance between instinctual behaviors and structured learning. She walks us through the art of rewarding gradual progress and adapting training techniques to maintain a dog's confidence.

Diana shares her inspiring journey from the military to the world of disaster response, running through her various experiences in various search scenarios, from wilderness expeditions to urban disaster zones.

Diana tells us how to build a dog's confidence through strategic exposure to distractions and varied environments. She talks reinforcement systems and finding the delicate balance between knowns, blinds, and blanks in refining your dog’s skills.

What to listen for: In the second part of the two-part discussion, our hosts, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, continue their interview with expert trainers Jack Thorpe and Annissia Justice. Drawing from their recent experience doing search and rescue in the aftermath of the floods brought on by Hurricane Doreen, our guests do a deep dive into their best tips and strategies around cadaver dog training. “Blinds are the number one way to read your dog.” Jack and Annissia discuss the keys to incorporating blanks and blinds into training routines. With the belief that “blinds are the number one way to read your dog,” they explain how these tools enhance handlers' abilities to distinguish between novel and target odors, which prepares them for real-world challenges by extension. In order to keep your dog improving their skills and behaviors consistently, it’s also important to motivate them with a mix of rewards and games that keep things varied and stimulating. Jack gives his thoughts on specialized HR dogs. From locating dementia patients or navigating crime scenes, he explains why the industry needs to up its game regarding certification standards. Our guests also give their best advice for selecting and raising working dogs, encouraging us to nail the balance between the dog’s social nature and work ethic to suit our abilities as handlers.

Do You Want to Reinforce Sniffing During a Search? 58:03

cách đây 21 weeks trước58:03

58:03

What to listen for: In today’s episode of K9 Detection Collaborative, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss the keys to cleaning up your dog’s behavior chain to help them stay on track and avoid distractions in the field. When it comes to reinforcing behavior, it’s just as important to get clear on when not to train particular habits. Their rule of thumb? Avoid reinforcing tactics during moments of frustration in your dog. It’s important to be systematic when training for search & rescue scenarios, setting clear boundaries and expectations for your dog, all while respecting their autonomy so that they can make snap decisions with confidence in high-stakes situations. With Deb Jones's Focus Unified Field Theory as their guide, the Dames of Detection navigate the complexities of canine focus in four areas—external, self, trainer, and task focuses. Understanding these focus types is crucial for managing distractions and maintaining a dog's attention during challenging search tasks. They dive into strategies that build a strong reinforcement system, allowing dogs to handle complex searches without becoming overwhelmed. They also explain why it’s crucial to actively train blank areas with the intention of striking a balance between engagement and overwhelm for both handler and dog. Finally, Robin, Stacy, and Crystal define “self-employing” actions, and why it’s a good idea to steer clear from reinforcing such behaviors, as well as the keys to nurturing understanding when building on and optimizing your dog’s behavior chain.

What to listen for: “Don’t rush the training. Don’t trial too early. Because you’re short-changing that important part where you’re thoughtfully adding the right stress to the picture.” What’s the difference between “good” and “bad” stress in dog handling, and how do you incorporate the former into your training while minimizing the latter? Drawing from a groundbreaking study in Nature, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss how stress impacts our dog’s learning and behavior. You’ll get a treasure trove of tips for masterfully adding artificial stressors into your handler training, all while learning to keep burnout at bay and your skills razor-sharp. Getting the balance right between good and bad stress is like walking a tightrope in the world of K9 detection. Our hosts explore how the right amount of stress can boost your dog’s memory and performance. Through real-life scenarios, they dissect common handling pitfalls and tips for fine-tuning your teaching, training, and testing methodology. The Dames of Detection also break down the impact of emotional states–of both handler and dog–on training outcomes. They unpack little-known facts such as how your dog reacts differently to odors depending on which side it’s coming from, and how best to engage your dog’s olfactory system to supercharge their optimism and overall well-being!
