I've been wondering how to get started and you have simplified the whole process for me and I really appreciate it and i will follow this.... Please keep teaching
This was a pretty good walkthrough of a step-by-step. I already have my dog trained on find it in the house and now I'm working on taking it outside. The slow motion Parts in this video had me cracking up though. I would also like to see the training part of marking.
@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland no , by marking, I mean the dog is showing me where "it" is. My dog can find it really well. I want to work on the part where she shows me where "it" is.
@@UglyYinzer yes, your “marking” is what scent work trainers call “alert” behavior. I have a video on how to train the alert. ruclips.net/video/nk9rcjuEQN0/видео.htmlsi=t-F0fSTNUTJKPaq8
@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland okay cool i watched it, thank you! my key takeaway was that you are rewarding the dog for both the scent and the behavior. And that skipping that part can lead to just the alert without finding the scent. Appreciate it!
Without any knowledge except my own experience with other types of dog training, I would start by teaching "which hand" with a strong scent. Then move to upside down cups and reward when he gets it right. Then maybe increase the amount of cups. When he knows how the concept works (find where smell is coming from → touch it with paw or nose OR sit down → get rewarded), then i can start hiding the odor in a room somewhere and teach that the command ("search" or maybe "find it" with a specific tone) means to start looking for it. Then just move to a larger and larger area like a dog park, and that's it. Would that be a good method? Ive never taught any scent work to any of my previous dogs, but this current rescue (swiss white shepherd) seems to have a GREAT nose. I maybe want to teach him to find cannabis as a joke, following scent trails because you never know, and maybe my dog could help me to find if i drop something while out on a walk 😂. Idk, it would just be great brain work, and something meaningful for my dog to do.
@@Litepaw some trainers train “which hand.” But, I’ve been training scent work for 15 years and this method in the video is the fastest way for the dog to gain comprehension. My dog had a 100% success rate at her first trial after only 2 lessons. My students’ dogs advance more quick also.
Do you only use birch oil for training purposes? After your dog has an understanding of the cue "Find It", would you then be able to change the scent and train to "Find It" for the new scent?
I train birch and anise in the first lesson. After introducing birch, I introduce anise. I put both in the boxes and the exterior search. They’re pretty proficient at both by the end of the first lesson. This is my newer video where I train 2 odors in the first lesson. ruclips.net/video/Ohb5RkLnNwc/видео.html
Could you show how you train for sent discrimination, but for articles in utility? My Decker Rat Terrier has a great nose but is confused. When she goes to articles she picks up first one. She thinks she’s retrieving. I am putting my sent on article. And having her sniffing my hand before I send her. This is my first obedience dog. So I have quite a steep learning curve.
I do like more boxes. If you’re using less, I would put the boxes in a circle and go around the circle until your dog finds odor about 10 times. Give him a break and repeat in the other direction.
Dogs will normally eat food treats if you incorporate prey drive into the delivery of the food. The only dogs in my class that did not respond to prey drive are dogs with health problems.

I’m glad the video helped.
Thank you. I love the minimalistic approach but not compromising on the end result. Can you show us when and how you train an alert. Thanks
Training an alert behavior is on my list of videos to make in the near future.
Was this by any chance already made?
Thanks very well explained. Thanks 😃
You’re welcome

Thank you for the guidance. I’m ready to try it out.
The dogs love it! Let me know how it goes.

It would be helpful to show what the scented floral tubes look like and how much odor is on them. Qtips?
Here is the link to my video on equipment.

@@SD-my9so thanks for the suggestion! I was helping someone with that yesterday. I’ll make a video.
@@BaebeasDogTrainingPortlandthank you Ill be checking to see when its posted.😊
@@SD-my9so I’ll comment here when it’s ready.
Is it ok to use let’s say 9 boxes and put odor in ever 3? Or is it that 15 boxes is it more effective
I do like more boxes. If you’re using less, I would put the boxes in a circle and go around the circle until your dog finds odor about 10 times. Give him a break and repeat in the other direction.
@@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland got it thank you one last question do you put empty tubes in the other boxes that don’t have the scented tubes?
@@erised-san The tube is only in the hot boxes. Cold boxes with no odor have no tube.
@@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland appreciate it ❤️
Nice job. However, need to improve on sound especially when moving away from the cameraman
Yes, I didn’t realize until after the fact the my mic wasn’t charged. Sorry.
What if the dog is not food motivated?
Dogs will normally eat food treats if you incorporate prey drive into the delivery of the food. The only dogs in my class that did not respond to prey drive are dogs with health problems.
keep searching you'll find the primary that they find most reinforcing. Then you just need a trainer that knows how to incorporate it.
