#79 Spaniels and eliminating the question marks with Josh Riddle 09 Dec 202201:13:05

Episode 79, In this podcast I get to speak with a Springer and Working Cocker Spaniel breeder Josh Riddle of Rockey's Kennel. Josh and his father have been breeders of Field Champion Springer and Working Cocker Spaniels.  Over the past 2 years I have been going to Josh and his father to select, raise and train many of the Spaniels we own and have trained and sold as Detection Dogs. 

The Spaniel breed has been a popular choice as a detection dog in the UK and Europe, now they are starting to gain popularity here in the USA.  Like in the past when the detection industry changes breeds it is important to handlers and trainers to know the breed they work with so that we can maximize the communication and working relationship between this breed and the handlers.

We discuss how this breed operates and what makes them unique and some take aways if you are considering this breed in the future.

#105 Bio Detection dogs with Lale Aksu20 Jun 202401:02:15

In this Episode 

Laleh Aksu, a trainer of C. difficile detection dogs, discusses the importance of using dogs to search for C. diff in hospital environments. C. difficile is a bacteria that can cause severe diarrhea and is a hospital-acquired infection. The dogs are trained to detect the presence of C. diff in the environment, such as on surfaces and in the air. Laleh explains the training process, the different strains of C. diff that the dogs are trained on, and the success rate of the program. She also discusses the challenges of training C. diff dogs and the rewards and markers used in training. Cameron Ford discusses the operational utilization of bio-detection dogs in hospitals, specifically for detecting C. diff. He explains that the dogs are trained to search areas such as supply rooms and storage rooms, but not patient rooms unless they are terminally cleaned. Ford also addresses the issue of false alerts and emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding the dog's behavior. He highlights the benefits of using bio-detection dogs in hospitals, including cost savings and improved infection control practices. However, he notes that the lack of exposure and support from some hospitals hinders the widespread acceptance of this resource.

Jennifer Cattet Ph.D. is also the author of over 100+ blogs and has published books and training videos. Her approach to dog training is systematic and practical. She believes that when it comes to service dog training, efficiency and standards are essential. But what’s equally important is making sure dogs are treated as partners along the way. Her methods are based on collaboration and trust. The dogs are never forced but are instead rewarded when they willingly offer the desired behaviors. Her latest book is called: “Selecting and Training Your Service Dog: How to succeed in public access work.”

Born in the US, but having grown up in France where she spent 30+ years of her life, Jennifer is perfectly bilingual and can teach in both English and French. She travels between the US and Europe several times a year to coach trainers on both continents.

#104 Belief is the Death of Reason with Dr. Nathan Hall and Dr. Paola Tiedemann27 May 202401:52:39

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Hall and Dr. Paola Tiedemann discuss their research on canine detection applications and the use of olfactometers. They explain that olfactometers are scientific instruments used to provide measured and standardized odors to animals. The researchers have been working on miniaturizing olfactometers and making them more rugged for various applications. They also discuss the merging of technology and dogs, predicting that within a few years, cameras and olfactometers could be used for initial dog training. They also explore the importance of the handler-dog relationship and the potential for technology to provide confirmation of the dog's findings. In this part of the conversation, Cameron and Paola discuss the importance of unifying the protocols and procedures used in scent detection. They emphasize the need to consider variables such as the length of time, collection methods, and the type of container used. They also discuss the plausibility of dogs remembering scents in real-world environments and the challenges of training dogs to match samples with different variations. They touch on the impact of factors like stress, medication, and age on human scent and the need for further research in these areas. They also highlight the importance of training dogs on a variety of targets and distractors to improve their ability to generalize and avoid false positives. Finally, they discuss the challenges of introducing new samples and variations in training and the need for ongoing evaluation and testing. In this final part of the conversation, Cameron Ford and Nathan Hall discuss the importance of challenging and critically evaluating detection dog training methods. They emphasize the need for accurate and informed decision-making in operational scenarios. They also explore the impact of odor concentration on a dog's ability to generalize and detect targets. The conversation then shifts to the research on firearms detection, including the significance of gunshot residue (GSR) and the volume of odor. They discuss the challenges of training dogs on different concentrations of odor and the importance of training on the actual weapon rather than just the powder. Finally, they touch on the ongoing research on ghost guns and the need to understand the odor profiles of 3D printed firearms.

#67 "Breed all about it" with Bart Rogers and Craig Koshyk26 May 202201:25:01

In this Episode I speak with Craig Koshyk and Bart Rogers. We discuss the history of breeds and why they do what they do.  Often times decisions are made based off what a handler likes vs what a handler needs. Also, little is considered as to the genetic history of the dog. 

Craig Koshyk: Craig is a self proclaimed dog nut, canine historian, photographer and writer. He has studied breeds and their history all over the world. Check out his work at https://pointingdogblog.blogspot.com

Bart Rogers: Bart has been developing and training explosives detection dogs, and instructing handler courses, for 10 years. Bart specializes in the foundational training of green dogs for explosives detection. He has successfully trained hundreds of explosives detection dogs for groups including VWK9, ATF, Department of Justice, and others. Wildlife conservation Bart has trained and deployed dogs for ecological conservation of: Eastern striped and Eastern spotted skunk, Black bear ,Burmese and North African rock pythons in the Florida Everglades Bonneted bat, Protected sport fish species (developed and implemented first Illegal Fish Filet Detection dog program for the Alabama Marine Resources Enforcement Department) Biological detection In addition to training dogs for operational services Bart has also been involved in training dogs for olfactory detection research of biological targets, including the first dogs trained to detect a live virus. Animal-assisted therapy Bart has trained service and assistance dogs for the Veterans Administration, and trained the first therapy dog for Auburn University's Student Counseling Services.

#66 Dealing with all the Background Noise with Simon Prins10 May 202201:24:05

In this Episode Simon and I talk about many things but in particular we talk about dealing with all the other things going on that the dogs have to work through or learn to disregard to focus in on the target odor we train them on and how to proof the training to make the dog as accurate as possible.

Simon Prins is known for introducing operant conditioning to the Police K9 training world. For the last 25 years, he’s skillfully trained and purposed dogs for special operation missions and has mastered the art of using robotics and sensors with dogs to perform such tasks successfully. He’s titled and trained countless dogs and trainers from special units across the globe and firmly believes that science can significantly improve our work with animals. Simon Prins is a/n speaker, author, innovator, animal trainer, and behaviorist, and is currently working with the Netherlands Police Agency.

Simon’s interest in canine work peaked when he was on a hunting trip with dogs in 1989. He was impressed with their abilities and started looking into opportunities to work with dogs. Not soon after, he joined the police force and became one of the youngest patrol dog handlers.

In 1996, he was asked to set up a special K9 project incorporating the use of radio-guided camera dogs. In the years that followed, he implemented programs such as hard surface tracking, laser-guided attack dogs, various levels of detection, to name a few.

In 2002, Simon created Urban Search and Rescue Unit, selecting and training 16 dogs and handlers to work alongside him in search and rescue operations. In 2006, he started to incorporate the use of electronics with dogs, even more, outfitting them with sensors and training them to carry small robots into operations.

In the years since Simon has written countless training protocols and has developed a number of innovative training apparatuses. He believes that following protocols, collecting data, and educating trainers has been the key to his success, as well as replacing traditional punishment training methods with operant conditioning techniques. Simon travels around the world extensively, teaching working dog trainers how to do the same.

#64 Data, Records and Detection Dogs with Sgt. Stèphan Petersen19 Apr 202201:32:12

Stèphan is a project manager, instructor and operational handler within the canine unit of the Dutch National Police. He started as a operational handler in the field of Forensic Human Scent Detection- and Tracking dogs, Narcotic Detection Dogs and Urban Search & Rescue. He was deployed for USAR missions after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and the devastating explosion in Beirut (2020).

As an expert in the field of detection dogs he and the project team utilized and developed a training protocol for Digital Storage Detection Dogs in the fight against cybercrime.

Because cybercrime is not constrained by borders, it is very important to work together as law enforcement, training “digital detection dogs” at an international level. Sharing information in the field of training data and discussing operational cases will significantly improve the level of this specific new detection discipline. Canine teams will never replace human search teams, but even in this digital era, they are a valuable addition to the innovative technology making the world a safer place and protecting against increasing forms of cybercrime.

#63 Power Communication with Michael Ellis 31 Mar 202201:37:47

Season 4 Episode 63 Power of Communication" with Michael Ellis

Michael Ellis really does not need much of an introduction.

Michael is an internationally renowned dog trainer and teacher with 30 years of experience in the competitive dog sports.  He has taught extensively to a very diverse group of trainers, from competitive sport trainers, police departments, and the US military, to search and rescue groups, service dog agencies, and pet dog trainers.  Michael’s clear, concise, and patient style has made him one of the most popular coaches of trainers in the country.  He has given over 300 seminars in the United States, Canada, and South America, that’s well over a thousand days of lecture and practical work in the last eight years alone, and as a result, has been one of the driving forces in popularizing reward based training systems for the protection sports.

Michael has competed in and done decoy/helper work for several national level competitions, both in Schutzhund and ringsport.  He was also one of the first Mondioring decoys certified in the US.  He has coached national champions in several disciplines, and many national and international competitors, but he is perhaps most proud of the hundreds of club level and beginning trainers that he has helped to improve their communication and physical skills. He was a past president of the American Working Malinois Association and a former board member of the US Mondioring Association.

#60 Digital Dust - Electronic Storage Media Detection Dogs... Future of Detection23 Feb 202200:44:27

Episode 60

Digital Dust - Electronic Storage Media Detection Dogs.  

Jeff Meyer Host of HITS K9 Radio interviewed me for his podcast on this topic and this is the interview.

As criminal activity evolves with the digital age and technology, Dogs are playing a larger and larger role in helping locate crucial items of evidence.  Many people when they think of dogs trained in  Electronic Storage Media (thumb drives, SD/Micro SD cards and other items) they tend to think of crimes involving sexual predators... but when it comes to crimes these day nearly all of it is done on a digital device.  From White collar financial (Crypto Currency), to Narcotics, to terrorism... Dogs trained to help find these devices are the future of detection in Law Enforcement.

Since this type of Detection has started it has already evolved. So have the techniques to use these dog and training of these dogs. Even the deployment of this type of dog is also unique.  We talk about all this and more...

If you are employed with or attached to Law Enforcement Agency you can contact me for more Information on this topic.
