How do we achieve the most efficient and most effective search possible with our odor detecting canine partner?  Learning to work a search environment through patterning, and with a strategic plan can increase the frequency that we enjoy success.  But does detailing and patterning undermine the independent canine hunter that we all love so much?  Lots of handlers and trainers have their own opinions about the merits of training with patterns and detailing.  Some people have a strong dislike and others wouldn’t live without it.  In this episode I am going to dive in head first and offer my opinions on the topic.
