It's All About Time...and Training

What to listen for:

“It's really important for us to understand that as we're setting up hides and things of that nature, we should really be looking at it as ‘how am I putting more tools in my dog’s toolbox so they can more efficiently and effectively solve a problem?’”

Have you ever wondered how to handle the pressure of time management in the competitive world of detection dog training? Time management and strategic thinking play a significant role in maximizing points and reducing unnecessary time wastage when working with dogs in certifications and competitions. The Dames of Detection, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing bring to light the importance of choosing the right call-outs and creating training scenarios that simulate pressure, thereby giving handlers a taste of the real deal. 

In this engaging dialogue, they broach the subject of the social dynamics of training and its influence on performance and discuss how the pressure of not wanting to take up too much time from others can negatively impact our output. They also talk about the critical role of the handler in supporting the dog during decision-making and the nuances of managing dogs of differing motivation, speed, and detail-orientation levels.
