What is the difference between the two commands, and which one is more commonly used?
How does one go about training this command?
I take the dog through the house every night before I go to bed, and every time I come home. It may sound paranoid, but my job *requires* me to be paranoid. I need to train the dog to do a building search on command without me bringing him through the entire house.
Additionally, if he does find someone, I need him to keep that person at bay, and bite if they make a move.
Revier is the more commonly used one of the two. They both mean the same thing which is search the blinds. French Ring (which I train) the command is 'cherche et abhor' which translated is search and bark.
IMHO the search, hold and bark is something that really needs a experienced trainer to help you train it. Me I wouldn't even attempt to try to train it without local professional help.
first, let me say that i am not a trainer, and you'll get (hopefully) a LOT more experienced ppl to respond to this. i would also suggest you use the "search" function as i know this has been discusssed a lot on this forum.
with that said, when i was starting my pup (16 wks old) in Sch training, our TD suggested starting the "revier" basically the same as starting a trailing dog: you hold the pup, someone runs away (not far at that age), "revier" the dog and let him find the person. my dog got VERY good at finding the person, but nfortunately i wasn't able to refine that into a revier+B&H. so that's just the beginning.
don't know if it's the "best" way to train it, but it certainly resulted in a dog that loved to hear the command and would go after it.
many many ppl recommend training it as an OB excercise though, and that's where using the search function may very well help you. best of luck!
