Building a Handler Proof Detection K9
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
In this video, we discuss the critical importance of developing a detection dog that works independently without relying on handler cues or direction. A "handler proof" K9 is a dog that commits to searching for and locating target odor based on their own drive and training—not because they're reading their handler's body language, following where the handler looks, or waiting for permission to alert. | Links mentioned: Three Day Foundations of Detection Seminar - Nov 8-10 at Leerburg: https://leerburg.com/kevin-sheldahl-scentwork-seminar.php | K-9 Detector Dog Training: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/186
