👇I never see dog trainers use this detection work exercise.

Let me know if this sounds familiar…

Your dog is searching, gets close to the target, and the moment you reach for the reward…

It looks back at you.

It heard your bag rustle.

It saw your hand move.

And now it's focused on YOU instead of the indication.

You see… that’s kind of your fault 😅.

You accidentally taught it that watching you is more useful than staying focused on the scent.

The fix is to deliberately create those distractions in training.

Make noise with your pockets.

Hold the ball in your hand the entire time.

Move around.

And only mark when your dog is truly indicating the target…

So not when it's looking at you, not when it's halfway there.

Your dog learns that none of those movements mean anything.

The only thing that brings the reward is a clean, focused indication.

If you want to see the full detection system that teaches your dog to stay focused like this in any situation…

Copy me and your dog will find money “on-demand”!

Of course, I’m talking about detection work here.

Here’s how to teach your dog to find ANY scent in 5 easy steps:

#1: Teach your dog detection work using a big piece of Kong. Gradually make it smaller, and smaller, so your dog becomes more precise.

#2: Go back to the place you originally taught detection work, and start introducing the new scent.

#3: Put the money next to the Kong, so the dog can connect the two scents. This will make everything easier for your dog.

#4: After a while, start removing the Kong

#5: When you master this in one place, you can finally start practicing on new walls.

In no time…

Your dog will be able to find money whenever you want! Use responsibly 😉.

(Again, you can do this with ANY scent. Blood, money, narcotics, and more…)

^ This is the winning strategy, but to make this work – you need implementation.

I mean luring… rewarding… dealing with unwanted behavior… socialization…

I explain everything in my detection (which has helped thousands of trainers transform their career).

The promise is simple:

Watch this and see how to teach your dog to find any scent in just a few weeks.

This is what happens when you SKIP socialization.

Let me guess what your training looks like right now:

You take your dog to a new environment and enthusiastically start training.

“Go!”, you give your dog a command…

But you quickly realize it’s distracted by people, traffic, and other dogs.

And because it can't focus, it can't learn.

So you get frustrated… you start correcting it…

And now there's also STRESS on top of the distraction.

If you want to fix this, keep reading…

Before you train anywhere new, spend time just letting your dog explore that environment.

Use a retractable leash and give it time to get familiar with the environment.

(The people, the noises, and everything else around it.)

Once those things stop being interesting…

And once your dog isn't constantly looking around anymore…

THAT’S when you start training there.

Not before!

This is especially important when you're teaching something new.

New exercise plus new environment is too much at once.

Pick one.

Teach the exercise somewhere familiar first…

And once your dog understands it, then you introduce the difficult environment.

👇DON’T set a track like this:

You lay a track down the middle of a path, exactly where other people walk.

Great!

Your dog picks up a scent and starts following it confidently.

Then the track turns… your dog goes straight… and you correct it.

But your dog wasn't wrong.

It was following someone else's track that went in the same direction as yours…

But you had no way of knowing.

That's the problem with laying tracks where other people walk (in the middle of the road).

You lose the ability to read your dog.

You can't tell if it's following your track or someone else's…

… which means every correction you make might be completely unfair.

And an unfair correction doesn't just waste a training session.

It teaches your dog that working correctly leads to punishment.

Let me show you how to fix this, it’s not that complicated.

Just lay your track somewhere you're almost certain nobody else has walked.

Along the edge of a path…

Across a field…

Anywhere that gives you complete certainty about where your track runs.

That way, when your dog's behavior changes, you know exactly what it means.

And when it makes a mistake, you can correct it — because you actually know it made one.

Teach a new dog to find hidden objects with human scent in just a few DAYS:

Step #1:

You start at a short distance, where your dog sees you throw the object.

It goes directly to it, indicates, and gets rewarded.

Easy peasy.

And once your dog understands that finding and indicating the object produces the reward…

You now do…

Step #2:

Throw the object WITHOUT it seeing where it lands.

Now it has to actually search.

And this is completely different from tracking.

There's no human scent trail leading to the object.

Your dog just needs to search a larger area for human scent.

But at first, it might just run around randomly, which is why you need to…

Step #3:

Guide it occasionally to make sure it covers the full area, but don't show it where the object is.

Your dog needs to find it on its own, or else… it will become dependent on your help.

And when the dog reaches the target, it needs to take…

Step #4:

A calm indication.

No barking, no scratching, no jumping on the object.

In real situations, the object could be a weapon, which is, you know…

… quite dangerous.

So always train your dog NOT to touch the object it’s indicating.

👇Copy this ONE training session to unlock 10x motivation in your dog:

Well-trained dogs can detect small scent sources very quickly…

But if they’re not extremely (and I mean, extremely) motivated…

You won’t be able to train for long.

Your dog might give up mid-track.

And most importantly, you can’t count on it in real missions.

But if you just copy my training session, you’ll fix low motivation in no time.

Just throw a toy hard into the bushes.

What? Do you think that getting great results needs to be complicated?

Your dog will search with a LOT of motivation, because it loves the toy.

And when it finds it…

It will basically reward itself for searching effectively.

The more you do this, the better.

Because, again – motivation is super important.

With it, your dog can work methodically and calmly for hours.

Without it… the dog fails when you need it the MOST.

So if you want a working dog that doesn’t get distracted and works with ultimate motivation…

I have the perfect (free!) guide for you.

If you want to teach hard surface tracking in your first week of training…

I wouldn’t really recommend it, but it’s possible.

Especially with the right tracking method.

First, you start with indication training.

Your dog learns to find and indicate objects with human scent using very small targets.

That's what makes everything else possible SO quickly.

Because once your dog understands how to use its nose precisely to find human scent…

The transition to tracking, and even to hard surfaces… can happen much faster than you'd expect.

Of course, your dog will struggle at the start.

That's totally normal.

What you need to teach it is to stay calm and use its nose instead of running off randomly.

^ And THAT’S what separates 90% of trainers from the really good and reliable ones.

Usually, I’d recommend you also train with longer tracks…

Add corners…

More distractions…

And other things before doing any kind of hard surface tracking.

If you want to see the full system that makes this kind of progress possible…

👇STEAL this method to stop your dog from missing articles on the track.

When dogs start missing articles, most handlers make the SAME mistake.

They just shrug their shoulder and say:

“Well, I’ll just switch to larger articles to make it easier!”

But now your dog isn't tracking anymore, oh no.

It's just using its eyes.

And the moment you switch back to small articles, the problem is still there.

You didn’t actually fix anything.

The real, actual solution is to…

Place three small articles close together in the same section of the track.

(About 20 to 30 centimetres apart.)

Your dog doesn't need to find all three, of course.

If it misses the first one, it will smell the second or third and indicate that one instead.

You still reward it for indicating a small article.

It keeps winning without ever learning to rely on its eyes.

After a few sessions, you go back to one article…

And your dog is sharper and even MORE accurate than before.

If you want to see how we train dogs to find extremely small articles reliably…

And get a tracking dog that does NOT fail in real missions in 60 days…

(Just like the 1000s of handlers we’ve already helped)...

How to make the FASTEST tracking progress of your life:

If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to use our back-chaining system.

“The back…what?”, you might be asking…

It’s simple.

You walk your dog to the end of the track, show it the object, and then walk back over the exact same line.

Then… just release your dog.

It already knows the object is there, so it follows the scent trail toward it.

And from there, you just keep moving further back.

Every session, the track gets a little longer.

BUT!

Don’t make the mistake of using an object that’s too big.

Your dog needs to learn to use its NOSE to find the object.

Not its eyes.

It learns to keep its nose close to the ground from the very beginning.

And if you want to see exactly how to start your tracking training…

So that you can get a reliable tracking dog in just 60 DAYS…

(While it takes most trainers many months, if they even get there)...

Just copy what I do, and your dog will find super small targets…

Start by letting your dog search an area where there's nothing hidden.

In real missions, your dog won't always find something…

So it needs to learn to stay focused and keep searching EVEN when the target isn't there yet.

(Otherwise, your dog will just give up as soon as it can’t find something immediately.)

And then…

You move to an area where the odor is actually hidden.

Use a detection stick to guide your dog to specific spots you want it to check carefully.

And remember…

You're not pointing directly at the target.

Just narrow down the search area with the stick.

In the beginning, start pointing quite close to where the odor is hidden.

Your dog finds success quickly…

And it builds the expectation that searching together as a team leads to a reward.
