What to listen for:

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal explain how being intentional with your handling helps accelerate your dog’s understanding of your goals for them as a trainer!

By “intentional handling,” our hosts refer to putting together a routine that creates consistency and predictability in your dog training. To them, clarity is kindness, and having intent in every training session builds a sense of expectation in your dog that gets them to the goal more efficiently.

Ultimately, the two steps to intentional detection dog handling are to observe and adjust. “If you can observe and adjust before you do the thing,” say our hosts, “the thing will become more consistent.” Cycling through these steps helps trainers decide how, where, and when to use reinforcement, and how to correctly use cross-training to create a well-rounded dog.

Key Topics:

• Being intentional with your handling (01:52)
• Clarity as kindness (07:11)
• Finding the rhythm of your training (15:33)
• Observation first (22:44)
• The difference between a lifeline and a cadaver dog (30:47)
• How your posture influences shaping training (39:24)
• It’s not the excitement but the energy (44:04)
• Creating a well-rounded dog (48:17)

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal reflect on their recent conversation with Amy Herot, co-founder of K9 Nose Work alongside Ron Gaunt and Jill-Marie O'Brien. Amy has over 20 years of experience under her belt as a trainer, handler, and educator. She has certified teams in Narcotics and Explosives and has logged over 1,500 instructional hours in detection dog training.

Our hosts touch on the differing standards between the professional handling world and that of the sports world. They agree that, to get the best out of both your dog and yourself, you as a trainer must be 1) commit to being fully present with your dog on the current task rather than treating the activity as a series of checklists to be rushed through; and 2) willing to embrace both our dog’s unique temperament as well as ours as trainers.

Stacy, Robin, and Crystal also highlight the importance of embracing wonder and curiosity to spark innovation and growth in our training, and how the Nose Work program encourages just that. “Having that level of curiosity to look at the whole picture and break things down is excellent dog training. Every time you can rehearse that—when you can build your imagination and your questioning and your curiosity bone—you’re going to become a better trainer.”

All-in-all, through the Nose Work program, Amy taught us the value of training the dog in front of us and of recognizing the dog that we have now, with all their quirks, strengths, and unique personality. “Nose Work has helped a whole lot of people recognize that the dog they have is pretty awesome!”

Key Topics:

• How being with your dog in the “now” can free you up (01:45)
• Differences in standards between the pro world and the sport world (08:31)
• Finding the right profession for your dog based on their temperament (13:00)
• Our thoughts on the Nose Work program (21:09)
• The importance of wonder and curiosity in dog training (27:15)
• Focusing on the handler’s needs and ensuring the dog has fun during training (33:22)
• How Nose Work creates many avenues to exhaust dogs (43:06)
• How Nose Work skills carry over into other activities (48:12)
• Our closing thoughts (56:50)

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal sit down with special guest Amy Herot, co-founder of K9 Nose Work. Amy has over 20 years of experience under her belt as a trainer, handler, and educator. She has certified teams in Narcotics and Explosives and has logged over 1,500 instructional hours in detection dog training.

Amy kicks off the conversation by sharing what drew her to the world of detection and how initial experiments with essential oils eventually led to the development of K9 Nose Work’s methodology as it exists today.

“We didn’t say, ‘Let’s create a dog sport.’ We just said, ‘Let’s create an outlet for dogs to have fun and for people to learn about this side of their dog.’” For Amy and her team, the community they created was dedicated to building who the dog is and encouraging our furry friends to bring us into their world in order to better understand and work with them.

Listen in as Amy shares how to get the best out of Nose Work competitions by letting your dog be the star of the show, navigating competition nerves, knowing how best to work with a ‘reactive dog,’ and using nosework to improve yourself holistically as a K9 trainer.

Key Topics:

• Amy’s background in detection work (01:54)
• The goal of K9 Nose Work (09:21)
• Behind the glamor of detection work (15:40)
