Any food distractions?? We see a lot of it in the NE.

Wonderful run

I really enjoy your videos and commentary.

You and Iona make detective look so easy! Its always so much fun to watch your videos

That was amazing.

These videos are so informative and fun to watch! I'm planning on starting one of my dogs in scent work next year, and watching your uploads has been extremely helpful. 😊😊😊

Nice job. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Great commentary, as always, about the dog and handler's process. I'm stealing "crottering." Was at a trail a couple weeks ago where I witnessed many dogs multitasking. Question: What told you the first room was cleared? After seeing how hard that one hide was (and your observation odor was all over the room), I would worry there is another hide in the room that was making that room difficult. Gems: wait for the deep push for inaccessible. When you get a squishy alert, leave and come back.

Great run, great commentary, very informative, thank you! Good tips I hadn't known.

Thanks for the new video. What a great run. Iona is so fun to watch. Some great lessons too. I went to a trial over the weekend to just observe. I noticed many handlers that didn't give their dog space or time to work. Many handlers were marching through the search area and their dogs stopped hunting and started healing. So your advice to let the dog lead and give them time really resonates with me today. Next gem: rember the odor plumes in addtion to where the hides are.

There were two moments of gold for me: 1. The dog showed inaccessible behavior. I hadn't considered that could be a behavior (still new to this). 2. There's odor all over this thing, but I can't find the source." I'm going to start looking for these from my dog.

Are these the cameras you are setting up, or do the trials you attend do it?

Great run showcasing dog and handler skill. Thank you for sharing thoughts on what the odor was doing in the room.

Thank you, Noah, for your commentary and search videos. They are a valuable resource for me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to add commentary to the video. I found your thoughts about the handler and reading what the dog was doing insightful and helpful to our journey.

Very cool. We play the “find it” game and they love searching. It’s fun to hear their noses.

Awesome job team👍

Great search! Your dog has so much drive for unfound odor and great confidence. A judge once told me, "Your dog is trying to get out of the search area." because we found all the hides (excellent interior run). Is it possible your dog wasn't in odor and just wanted to leave the search area to find more odor?

Speedy dog. Incredible ignoring found odor obedience.

No, it is not. I messed up my training by dropping tins in the water tubs and as a result my dog started alerting on them by sight and not smell. So I had to start over from scratch. If you watch the next few videos in this series, you can see how I progress this to water hides. My girl has her buried Masters title so it worked well for us :)

This is not Water Hide searching. 😳

Always when in doubt move from the other direction. Good call for Anne. I think the dog should practice threshold hides, and you can set up practice with fans to help with with pooling odor. Once they experience it, they can work through it in competition with more sucess.

Could have been helpful to hesitate at the door for a few seconds and the dog may have gotten the second hide first, almost like a threshold hide. That dog might work better off lead in an interior search area. Sometimes the leash seemed tight.

Yes, it’s meant to be easy.

So just hiding in plain sight?

Always check the threshold! I hope Iona is doing ok, I’ve recently been through some heath stuff with one of my dogs and its always really difficult.

Fantastic job by you and Iona! She's amazing and you do a great job supporting her yet giving her space to work.

Very nice job!

Your dog is really good!

That was so cute!!! Thank you for sharing that

Great videos. Thanks for sharing them

That was amazing. Thank you so much for explaining what she was doing

Valuable and so funny too. Poor Iona. I was laughing so hard.

Ruby reminds me of my dog SO much! Physically and with those variable alerts and focus into (especially food) distractors. Hoping to get a master title or two this weekend!

Thank you! This is interesting.

So helpful! Thanks for posting!

perfect! thank you

Your narration is fabulous! I love watching! If you ever need a detective video to narrate you are welcome to use ours!

Fun! Love the narration! Great teamwork

Wow love the search and the commentary. I will have to watch it a lot more to learn all there is here to learn. Thanks for posting it.

Beautiful

Thank you for sharing!!! Your videos are seriously my favorite thing on youtube

Thank you!

Super excited to start. I grew up training drug dogs and did them for the government and PD all over the US. The highest level AKC is the level we basically start at. I have a dog I've had 6 sessions and she"s already responding to things inside of vehicles. My personal dog can find the aides used in AKC inside of vehicles as well. I'm actually releasing a detector dog series that teaches actual search patterns, how to read the wind and put your dog in the best position to find the aides. Hoping to start a team. Thanks for letting me see the placements....super shallow....super easy to teach. Best of luck to you.

These are amazing! Great job. You should switch to Human Remains! You would be an awesome asset.

Good stuff here....love the videos!!

ugh was that the last hide?

Such a nice search, i was so bummed when he got a no. I really enjoy watching Nero work!

Thanks so much for sharing! This was so awesome to watch!

this is fantastic! even in master i think the judges just get lazy with hides and searches sometimes, so am looking forward to detective-so close!
