So great to see the love, joy, enrichment, stimulation, confidence, bond and so much more a Malinois like Arih gets out of quality training like this. Easy to see how advanced she is in how she picks everything up so quickly. Very important for this type of seriously high energy breed to keep their bodies and minds so active.❤

Such a proactive responsive youtuber, that's rare, I tip my hat to you good sir. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@NateSchoemer]

Thank you, Joe! I appreciate that. 😁

[@dalepres1]

I agree completely. So many content creators follow their comments for just the first few hours, or some even for the first day, and then never reply or react to any later comments so I presume they aren't reading them. Maybe they're creating so many videos and getting so many comments that they cannot interact with their followers. If so, that's great for them. But it is always great when a content creator responds to anything just to show he's still reading. Then, if he chooses to not respond to our post (my post) then I assume it was that he didn't have that answer or the question wasn't interesting to him - and that's his choice. Just seeing and knowing that he's reading them means I might get my questions replied to - if I do my part to make them interesting enough for his channel.

Thanks for that material bro I'm a vet student and a recently formed dog trainer in Brazil. I've knew your channel and your job today. I'm not a english fluently speaker but just loved your methodology and way to train and explain. Detection is not my area and I'm studying that sector with another somes professionals but that video was very helpful to increase the prstical exercises

[@monicahanna2782]

Hi Thanks for inspiring me to include nosework to enrich my training. I have a very nervous and easily frustrated client(dog student) who will really benefit from my changing things up and taking emphasis away from his desensitization /counter-conditioning work. Excellent videos!

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy the video was helpful. :)

[@illuminadia6023]

Love these videos! We are finally getting around to teaching my coonhound scentwork with these! We are on day 4 now, and one thing we are struggling with is the dog occasionally overlooking the scent. This is happening mostly on our first few searches. We are using birch odor in an odor tin and doing some work outdoors and some indoors. The boxes became far too easy for him - he wouldn't sniff each one but as soon as entering the room, he would run directly to the correct container with odor. So we are doing field searches at this point!

[@alyssa_theweirdo4870]

I’m teaching my GSD so far he’s doing pretty good

[@NateSchoemer]

Awesome! And the dogs usually love this training. :)

[@nickyhyland5790]

Why is Ari so intensely putting her face into objects so damn funny and cute . She is Adorable!!

Lol! Yeah, she's my number one star! :)

[@jacquiehumphrey3701]

Great job to both you and your dog, it is really lovely to see a dog perform with confidence and enthusiasm. I think this is a great way to train and your timing to mark Ari's behaviour is so important and often missed. We want to mark when the dog is going into rather than pulling out and you showed that so clearly. Thank your for a great little video. :-)

Love this so simple and with an untrained dog 😁great job!

[@wendyanderson8169]

Thanks so much for this video--it looks simple for me to follow the steps. I have neuro/memorydifficulties and so I appreciate the small steps, clearly shown. I'm trying to self-train a service dog for mobility assist on very long distance walking/biking adventures, and as he is a 2 year old Coonhound I think scent detection will give him a great outlet for using his greatest asset and joy, his NOSE!!! for fun, exercise, and to learn to focus. An opportunity to sniff, whether it is searching for a handful of scattered treats, or following some scent usually unknown to me, really seems to end with a relaxed, happy fellow

[@wormworm580]

I’ve heard stories about training coonhounds… you might have your work cut out for you! Or maybe not, I have a couch potato of a border collie so there are always exceptions to the rule. Best of luck!

Thanks! Once a dog knows one odor, it's much easier to teach a new odor. You can also train a dog off of an odor by presenting it and no longer rewarding when the dog indicates on it.

My doberman who died of a broken heart after a separation was fully "scent trained" in that as a fully trained guard dog, she could tell if a person was thinking about doing wrong by the odor their body emitted.

[@NateSchoemer]

Sounds like an incredible dog!

[@MissionaryInMexico]

@@NateSchoemer She was. She originally belonged to a US Navy admiral who was stationed in Belgium, where he bought the dog and where she got all her training. Great protection for his house. When he moved back to the USA he and his wife separated and I ended up with his dog. Later, I moved out of the state, and had to leave the dog with his ex-wife and the dog died soon after, of a broken heart. So, Doberman Pinscher dogs are not notorious for showing affection, but she would lay on my lap or lean very hard into my leg wherever I went. She loved me. She knew when someone was outside looking in... Growled, let us know. Really miss her.

[@chloekiser6468]

Hi! I'm a bit unclear on some of the steps in this video- why are we starting with a cinder block and moving on to a bucket, then a box? Is it just to get the dog accustomed to sticking their noses into different containers? Part of this question stems from sheer laziness- I'd far rather cut a hole in a box than cover the cinder block in duct tape :) Thank you!!

[@NateSchoemer]

Hahaha! It is a pain to cover the cinder blocks in duck tape, but yes, it gets the dog accustomed to sticking their noses into different containers and helps generalize the dog to the training. This makes it easier for the dog when we transfer them to real life style searches, such as building and vehicle searches. I also use tubes when training, but I thought three examples were enough. :)

What kind of treats do you use? Awesome video

[@NateSchoemer]

Thanks! I like to use freeze dried dog food. With a puppy or a new dog in training, I will often start with a high-quality dry food during the training process. I also usually give the puppy raw goat milk from answers, to help ensure the dog is getting enough quality nutrition. If I don't have enough time for a training session, then I soak the kibble in water or raw goat milk and stuff it into a kong or raw bone, then freeze it. In addition, I train with freeze-dried dog food, but that can be very pricey. amzn.to/2W88zMf Usually, a high-quality kibble will be okay. I transition them to raw when all the main training is completed and then use the freeze dried dog food while training

[@francisbrady2739]

Do you have to use cinder blocks first? I do not have any, or space to store them.

[@NateSchoemer]

I’ve always liked using cinder blocks, mainly because of how sturdy and heavy they are. The weight prevents the dogs from moving or knocking them over during searches. Boxes and unused/empty paint cans also work well.

I struggle with prepping fancy raw food for my dog but I’ve figured out a system to make it really easy. Buy a good pet mince blend in bulk and spoon it into silicone muffin bar trays, then freeze. Once frozen you can pop them out and keep them in a freezer bag. Put a brick in your dogs bowl a few hours before feeding time and keep it in the fridge so it can defrost, and after feeding put another one straight in and refrigerate again so the next meal is always defrosted and ready to go.

I have a problem with a GSD in that she is not remotely interested in food as a treat. She is wired to having a ball as her treat. Problem is giving her the ball every time I want to mark the wanted behaviour. (I walk and train the dog twice a week for her owner - I am not the dog's owner).

[@NateSchoemer]

Normally I would explain how to build the dog's food drive, but since you're not the owner, that's a little out of your control. So I would recommend implementing leash pressure to reinforce behaviors. Check out this video to learn how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnTFYoxua8qMeLM Cheers! :)
