Scent detection is an art form in dog training that is best described as a methodology with many nuances. Two very well respected trainers who are well known for their work in scent training join us for this episode. Jerry Bradshaw and Cameron Ford join us again, this time together, to share their ideas and techniques in scent training. Like most trainers, both of these gentlemen have their respective style. Although we may have our preferences, we can’t deny good training and results. Making sense of scents is a skill set that all good detection trainers should strive for. Additionally, it not only improves the dogs we train but the students we coach. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. For more information or to contact them, Jerry is at Tarheel Canine and Cameron is at Ford K9 Glenn runs and has almost everything canine related at, Canine Evolution or Pet Resorts Australia Pat has a full range of coaching and training services at Operant Canine   Show Sponsors:   FORD K9 LLC.   www.fordk9.com

In this episode, we get to speak to Nathalie van Hellemond from Scent Imprint for dogs.  Nathalie is a trainer and helps work all dogs at the Scent Imprint for a dogs training center in Holland.  Nathalie discusses her journey and education in holland to become a dog trainer.  What I find very unique about what she talks about is how the education system is a mix of learning theory in the classroom followed by 2 years of interning at various jobs to help each student find the best chance for a career in a job they want moving forward.  This is a great mix of education and vocation, something I would love to see here in the USA.   SPONSORS:   FORD K9 LLC -  Are you looking for a Handler School, Trainer School or attend one of our 1-week Development courses for Dogs, Handlers, or Trainers.   Are you in one of the various detection dog Scent Sports doing Nosework or Scentwork?  We have Classes and Seminars for you as well.  We offer Trainer classes as well as Seminars for many of your handlers.   Ford K9 is not
