As far as the passive responce goes i think Frost pretty much nailed it.
Im in the military and all we train is passive responce(the sit) To me having a aggressive reponce has never crossed my mind. The passive responce is just to easy to train and it works realy well. MWDs where trained to sit and look at the handler considering thats where they knew they reward was coming from but now they are teaching the dogs that the reward is coming from the source of the oder. So that way are dogs look right at where he thinks the oder/reward is coming from, much better in my openion. But the main reson i like the passive responce is that when we do building searchs if the decoy or suspect is in a room with the door closed are MWDs are trained to scratch at it, now if there is drugs in the room and my MWD is scratching and i run in there expecting to see my suspect, thats no good.

We do all of our narcotics training and deployment on a flat collar with a special “drug leash”. The leash is long and thin and it’s only used for drug work. The last thing you want to do is inadvertently correct your dog during drug work. A verbal “no” should be good enough when he starts barking.
Take a look online at some scratch box designs and look into building one with a plexi-glass front. In training I will have a handler hold their dog while I tease them with their drug toy and then put it behind the glass where they can see it. The handler makes or breaks this exercise with their encouragement of the dog. Work on “building scratch” and increasing your scratch time before the dog gets his reward.
As far as the aggressive vs. passive alert goes…. Since our program went passive we have had 0 claims for damage…..Admin friendly!!!
