Conversation 2

Hi Steve,

I can relate to the enthusiasm of a young dog!  The trick is channeling that enthusiasm to serve our needs, isn’t it?

I have a few more questions
.
SAMPLE

  1. First, when using cloth bags to contain cloth sample, where is the cloth bag when you begin your training session?  In your hand?  In your pocket?  In Ava’s hand or pocket?
  2. Is it on you during the entire training session?  And is Dillon aware of it, smelling it all during the session?
  3. Or do you hide the bag before releasing Dillon and wait for her to find it?
  4. Have you ever used saliva sample in training Dillon?
  5. Have you ever created 2nd generation sample using hydration?

TRAINING

  1. Is all of your scent training done as search and find?
  2. Do you train with the scent sample on your body?  On Ava’s body?  And how does that differ?
  3. Would you like to discuss different alert behavior?
  4. Are you teaching any seizure response behaviors?
