25.01.2022 The start of Ayden and Fui's tracking career We start off with indicating on human odour on an article and we prefer hard surface to start off with. #malinoisofinstagram #malinois #dogtraining #patroldog #workingdog #workingdogs

25.01.2022 Kitty Kat and Frank 6 months old now! Can't explain again how important these days are for the younger working dogs. Getting ready for a big future

25.01.2022 Learning how to be bold, brave and confident #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #workingdog #workingdogs #detectiondogs #detectiondog

24.01.2022 The pointer puppies will be 5 weeks old coming Saturday. We have set up a 'sensory' room for them which will allow them to get familiar with exploring different surfaces. We like them to become bold and confident and help them overcome future operationally challenging environments. We still have two puppies available If you are interested please send us a private message or call 0497690365.... #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #workingdog #workingdogs #detectiondogs #detectiondog

22.01.2022 Every day at 6.30am Getting the dogs ready for another day

22.01.2022 Here is a video of some of our trainee dogs in development as well as a couple of of our own detection dogs. We are so grateful for the work done by Scott Alder who engineered our new detection scent boxes and carousel. Scott is an incredible talent and has agreed to work with us on supplying our clients with any of this equipment which may suit your needs. I can say it has turned out to be be really efficient and effective kit of the highest quality. Please get in touch ...with us for pricing, questions or orders you may wish to place. Secondly, our detection training wall is the result of some great work and ingenuity by Jeff Bament - who showed considerable patience in transforming our ideas and experience into a practical work of art! Finally - if you are interested in purchasing any of our dogs for ANY role you may require, please get in touch with us. We strongly believe we can give you excellent outcomes when orders are placed well in advance which allows us to tailor the training from a very early age.

16.01.2022 Have a good weekend everyone! #determination #detectionpig #april #workingpig #pigsofinstagram #piggyandgoatie

16.01.2022 A great day for our dogs to be exposed to a whole new environment and for our youngest working dogs, some great socialisation Many thanks to Nowra High School #workingdog #workingdogs #detectiondog #detectiondogs #springerspaniel #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #dutchshepherd #patroldog #dogtraining

15.01.2022 It took a while but finally the container with two training rooms is finished! Really ideal now with the puppies. It is easy to disinfect and to keep it clean. It is also easy to set up some enrichment. Which hopefully helps them to become confident and bold little puppies. #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #detectiondog #detectiondogs #workingdog #workingsdogsofinstagram

14.01.2022 The pups are almost 8 weeks old. Between the age of 3 and 12 weeks old dogs learn to communicate and relate to other dogs, humans and the environment. It is the most influential learning period of a dog's life and it forms the foundation of all future learning. Did you know pups at the age of 8 weeks old learn just as well as adult dogs? ... #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #workingdog #workingdogs #detectiondog #detectiondogs #puppiesofinstagram

06.01.2022 Imprinting Piggy and Goatie on another explosive odour. It has been a while! So give these two ladies a break please #piggyandgoatie #bombpig #bombgoat #detectiongoat #detectionpig #theimpossibleispossible #animaltraining

06.01.2022 Our youngest members of the Bellator team Today they are exactly 4 weeks old. Their personalities are starting to show and some of them are full of confidence They are already practising their 'point' and running around with a ball (and then fall over! As they don't have full control over their legs yet!) #detectiondogs #detectiondog #workingdog #workingdogs #germanshorthairedpointer #puppiesofinstagram

05.01.2022 Thanks to: Outdoor and Beyond Flinders Workwear & Embroidery Bishops... Premium Tyre Service All based in Nowra. We were able to put different hides out for some of the dogs. Which will benefit their role as a working dog in the future. Thanks again! It makes it a bit more realistic when you can hide an odour in a box of worms Also many thanks to everyone who helped us in the past and is still helping us with some of the locations. We can't explain how beneficial it is for these dogs to be able to train in the locations mentioned. #detectiondog #detectiondogs #workingdogs #workingdog #malinois #malinoisofinstagram #k9training #k9unit

02.01.2022 Odour imprinting with the 10 week old pups. For us it has two purposes. - Odour recognition... - Shaping the indication response For this exercise at the moment we use food. Pointers from genetics are hunting dogs and they enjoy the hunt/search in itself. We still do teach them how to search in low drive and how to search in high drive as a seperate exercise/skill. We also develop their drive for the toy. During this exercise some of the pups are showing their genetics. They will lift their paw up and stand in a point. All pups have done now close to 6 short sessions. Teaching a dog an odour can be done in 101 ways but the concept is often still the same. It is either used as target training exercise (back chaining) or the dog is shaped on to the odour (front chaining). The possibility of pairing the odour up with a high value reinforcer is also there (meaning putting a toy literally next to the odour). But you will see us rarely do this. How higher the reinforcement history on the odour how stronger the behaviour. That's the advantage working with puppies as we work with a clean sheet Whilst using back chaining and working on the fluency of the indication behaviour such as precision, latency and speed. We will less likely get the undesirable behaviours at the odour such as pawing and scratching. This means if your goal is a passive indication. As much at the start this is something we really want to train well. It is only a small part of a much bigger picture. If the dog doesn't like to search independently away from the handler, then it becomes a bit problematic. If the dog isn't environmentally and socially sound. How will you then ever reach the goal of taking your dog out for a real life search? On leash and off leash. This is a picture taken in our shed where the dog is on odour. A year from now you will see the same dog on odour in a massive stadium. But that also means hours and hours of ongoing training, exposure and also lots of passion for the dogs and the training itself. #germanshorthairedpointer #germanshorthairedpointerofinstagram #workingdog #workingdogs #detectiondogs #detectiondog
