In this series, I will be teaching my Malinois, Arih, Scent Detection. I'll break down each step in a format that is easy to understand, but more importantly, easy to implement.

In episode five, I will be answering some of the most common questions that I have received about this series.

My goal is to improve the quality of life for all dogs by educating those who care for them. Your support helps me focus on that mission every day!   / nateschoemer  

00:28 - I’m a bit unclear on some of the steps in this video- why are we starting with a cinder block and moving on to a bucket, then a box? Is it just to get the dog accustomed to sticking their noses into different containers?

01:00 - I have a 6-month old Malinois who is very eager to learn. I tried doing the first step by introducing the box, but she was so focused on me she wouldn’t stick her nose into the box. Any suggestions?

01:43 - What if you have a dog that doesn't get excited over fetch. Could you try a different way? Like driving them into a hide with food?

02:27 - Is this the same process you would use to teach search and rescue?

03:51 - How would you deal with a dog that gets so excited to get that tennis ball they would run through a wall to get it? My GSD would be almost uncontrollable to do the second stage that you showed.

05:28 - Do you use dowels with Arih to practice scent detection? I noticed you touched the ball with your hands at the end of the video. Will that affect any scent the next time you go to use the balls to practice? I notice when trainers use dowels (each one numbered) it's their own scent they put on the ONE dowl and the rest is handled with tongs.

09:45 - How does this relate to the first scent detection lesson? Should we be using the same command "search", to indicate that we want the dog's nose in the box?

10:36 - Any tips on increasing the dog's ball drive?

11:20 - Is it possible to begin formal scent detection training when the dog is around 9months old or should I wait till it is older?

12:02 - Is it better to teach them a bunch of scents upfront like in a kit? Or once you teach them 1, can they more easily learn the next scent?
