Certifications with Robin Greubel

Listen Later

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Robin Greubel from K9Sensus about certifying detection dogs.

Science Highlight: None

  • A certification is a snapshot of the skills that have proven to be predictors of success in the field
  • Some skill sets to consider during testing are refocusing after distraction, independent dogs (handler not assisting in finding the hides), and successful clears
  • There are different kinds of detection dogs (conservation, search and rescue, cadaver, etc.), so one type of certification will not necessarily fit all others, so it would be difficult to create one kind of certification for ALL detection dogs
  • Being certified does not make you operational, being certified is like getting your learners permit
