Ericka Duggan on Things to Prep Your Dog For Scent Detection Training

Uploaded on July 20, 2022 • 5 min

In this video, Ericka Duggan explains a few things you can do to prepare your dog for working in the search area. This can include habituating your dog to wear new equipment like collars, harnesses, and leashes. Introducing your dog to new equipment is important because while most dogs may not be affected, there are occasionally dogs that react negatively to new equipment. So to avoid this problem we recommend introducing new equipment to dogs when they are young even if you don't need it at that time.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus. Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance. Ask Cindy!
