I agree completely. So many content creators follow their comments for just the first few hours, or some even for the first day, and then never reply or react to any later comments so I presume they aren't reading them. Maybe they're creating so many videos and getting so many comments that they cannot interact with their followers. If so, that's great for them. But it is always great when a content creator responds to anything just to show he's still reading. Then, if he chooses to not respond to our post (my post) then I assume it was that he didn't have that answer or the question wasn't interesting to him - and that's his choice. Just seeing and knowing that he's reading them means I might get my questions replied to - if I do my part to make them interesting enough for his channel.
I've been searching for a method to train detection without have my Dog look for food as many do, I don't like that idea. I will use this method with my 17 month old Mal. Thanks!
So great to see the love, joy, enrichment, stimulation, confidence, bond and so much more a Malinois like Arih gets out of quality training like this. Easy to see how advanced she is in how she picks everything up so quickly. Very important for this type of seriously high energy breed to keep their bodies and minds so active.❤
I absolutely LOVE this dog!!! I can tell she is incredibly smart!!! You always make it look so easy lol I know my training won't go this well lol I Love your videos tho you are very informative and when I'm ready to train my puppy something new I come to you because I trust you're gonna teach me the best way!!!! Please keep doing what you're doing because you're awesome!!!
Love this clear break down. My boy definitely offers 'tries' at other positive behaviours so sweet to watch your girl do the same. Thanks for a great demonstration.
I have a malinois. And would love to give her job besides only play. These techniques are so helpful. She already understands "free" so we have our marker. 👍
I used to be with Michel Ellis as the GOAT, but you are def in there. Plus you give up waay more free content aaand thats why youre goat! Your service dog guide is my go to.
I’ve watched endless trainers and you have a special gift. Thank You for sharing your knowledge I have a 2 year old and 4 month old shepherds and I love your methods
Hi Thanks for inspiring me to include nosework to enrich my training. I have a very nervous and easily frustrated client(dog student) who will really benefit from my changing things up and taking emphasis away from his desensitization /counter-conditioning work. Excellent videos!
Great job to both you and your dog, it is really lovely to see a dog perform with confidence and enthusiasm. I think this is a great way to train and your timing to mark Ari's behaviour is so important and often missed. We want to mark when the dog is going into rather than pulling out and you showed that so clearly. Thank your for a great little video. :-)
Your videos have been so helpful. I have watched every single one. I am getting a German shepherd puppy at the end of the month and I am so excited to start shaping her into an amazing dog. Now I am practicing timing and markers. Thank you for making comprehensive videos!
Nate Schoemer I know that in one of your podcast episodes you mentioned being connected to other dog trainers all over through your work . I am searching for like minded trainers or at least use the same training method as you or Michael Ellis around Juno Beach, Fl. Thank you so much for taking the time👍
@@NateSchoemer Cheers to you, too! Be happy & well! Currently working to train a Beagle puppy. My teenager wants to teach him to help find edible mushrooms in the woods.😅 Any tips or vids you have that could help us with that would be outstanding! Thanks so much! 💕🙏🏽🤗
I love how smart and driven Malinois are. I know I couldn't handle one but I really enjoy watching them work! This is a great video! Will be starting with my pup soon!
hello i am vietnamese Thank you for this very helpful video. I learned how you wake up via video, but it's hard since I don't know your language, I just watch the video and remember the pictures and teach my dog. thank you very much.
Love these videos! We are finally getting around to teaching my coonhound scentwork with these! We are on day 4 now, and one thing we are struggling with is the dog occasionally overlooking the scent. This is happening mostly on our first few searches. We are using birch odor in an odor tin and doing some work outdoors and some indoors. The boxes became far too easy for him - he wouldn't sniff each one but as soon as entering the room, he would run directly to the correct container with odor. So we are doing field searches at this point!
This video has been out a while now but wow so informative and inspiring to see how this works. I’ve decided now that my gsd’s are getting near to 10 it’s time to calm down on some of the running and jumping to avoid injuries and scent work looks like a wonderful new project. Thanks for the great info and I look forward to watching more and going down this road for sure
i actually laughed out loud when she just instantaneously figured out what to do!! SO impressive! you have given me new hope on getting into dog training and getting a GSD. ive bingewatched your videos for 2 days now and im curious if your episodes are numbered so i just start with episode one and go on from there or what order would you recommend? I watched the longer puppytraining videos and they are amazing! thanks so much for sharing this and for sparking my motivation to a level i didnt know existed!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm happy the videos are helpful. Yes, the basic and advanced series have been designed to be watched in order. They should be numbered. Cheers!
Thanks so much for this video--it looks simple for me to follow the steps. I have neuro/memorydifficulties and so I appreciate the small steps, clearly shown. I'm trying to self-train a service dog for mobility assist on very long distance walking/biking adventures, and as he is a 2 year old Coonhound I think scent detection will give him a great outlet for using his greatest asset and joy, his NOSE!!! for fun, exercise, and to learn to focus. An opportunity to sniff, whether it is searching for a handful of scattered treats, or following some scent usually unknown to me, really seems to end with a relaxed, happy fellow
I’ve heard stories about training coonhounds… you might have your work cut out for you! Or maybe not, I have a couch potato of a border collie so there are always exceptions to the rule. Best of luck!
Thanks for that material bro I'm a vet student and a recently formed dog trainer in Brazil. I've knew your channel and your job today. I'm not a english fluently speaker but just loved your methodology and way to train and explain. Detection is not my area and I'm studying that sector with another somes professionals but that video was very helpful to increase the prstical exercises
My doberman who died of a broken heart after a separation was fully "scent trained" in that as a fully trained guard dog, she could tell if a person was thinking about doing wrong by the odor their body emitted.
@@NateSchoemer She was. She originally belonged to a US Navy admiral who was stationed in Belgium, where he bought the dog and where she got all her training. Great protection for his house. When he moved back to the USA he and his wife separated and I ended up with his dog. Later, I moved out of the state, and had to leave the dog with his ex-wife and the dog died soon after, of a broken heart. So, Doberman Pinscher dogs are not notorious for showing affection, but she would lay on my lap or lean very hard into my leg wherever I went. She loved me. She knew when someone was outside looking in... Growled, let us know. Really miss her.
Those belgians are such smartasses, i thought my dog was quick to pick up on stuff😂😍 love the video, thank you! will start teaching my Vizsla Shepherd mix to do scent detection soon!
What a good girl!!! I have a malinois and I can see the same eagerness to do good in her. Smartest dog I have ever had and she is only 6 months old. She makes me want to train her because she learns so fast, where a lot of dogs have just been tiring.. I like your methods though, and we may need to start from square one with a little guidance. Arie is so happy and eager, and PRETTY!! You have a new sub!!! Hopefully in a couple weeks Luna will be just as good as Arie!!! Such a good girl!!!!
what a proactive trainer and a proactive dog, me and my dog both sit down on the couch and watch other people do lots of stuff with thier owners like running, stunts etc... 🤣
Thank you Kevin! Let me know how Rio does when you start teaching her scent detection. For some reason, I have a feeling you'll do very well with it! :)
Hi! 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? Part of this question stems from sheer laziness- I'd far rather cut a hole in a box than cover the cinder block in duct tape :) Thank you!!
Hahaha! It is a pain to cover the cinder blocks in duck tape, but yes, it gets the dog accustomed to sticking their noses into different containers and helps generalize the dog to the training. This makes it easier for the dog when we transfer them to real life style searches, such as building and vehicle searches. I also use tubes when training, but I thought three examples were enough. :)
Smart dog!! My dog sniffed out an old McDonald’s burger someone threw out a car window, which was under some grass and leaves. That’s when I had the idea to try and train her. She also can sniff out rabbits, which we have a lot of in my area. I’m hoping one day, when me and her move out of my parents home and into a place in the woods, she can help me catch rabbits to eat. It would be a dream come true to have her in the forest, which she loves.
You do a great job educating....quick question, if i train my dog on birch, clove etc, and later want to change to a narcotic, will that be difficult? Or should I train straight away with a pseudo narcotic if I think he will ever search for narcotics ? thanks
Thanks! Once a dog knows one odor, it's much easier to teach a new odor. You can also train a dog off of an odor by presenting it and no longer rewarding when the dog indicates on it.
Picking up a Golden Retriever May 2 2023 she will be 8 weeks. I have a special needs 18 YO that has Autism and elopes. She also has alot of anxiety. I am going to hopefully train her to search and rescue not only for myself but others who need the help.. I am in a remote town in central Texas.
I see so the green bench in my opinion is similar to the police cruiser and they are simply understanding jump out the cruiser grab the scent and pursue. Very interesting
Great Job accenting free shaping. Whats interesting is how well this accents how having free shaping logged into your dogs vocabulary toolbox ahead of time matters. This allows her to learn and for you to be able to convey the thought of what you want out of her faster. The old saying of a dog that has been taught how to learn to learn.. Whats the best video of yours that accents free-shaping.. #GoodStuff!
Thanks, Mark, I appreciate that! I don't have any videos where I demonstrate free shaping, I just discuss it in a few videos. These are all the videos that I discuss the concept of free shaping: Audiobook: ruclips.net/video/ERmJnSwGS4Q/видео.html How to teach your dog to be PROACTIVE. Episode 10: ruclips.net/video/tEU6gM_sHYI/видео.html
Love the platforms.. what about a DIY video where we can get tip about what we can make for our training - platform, shapingbox, etc :) Really enjoyed several of your videos / your channel - just subbed. Much love from Norway.
@@NateSchoemer Thank you so much :) I will deff. watch that and make some nice platforms. YEY :) By the way - i love how emphatic and fair you are - very European/Scandinavian dog training style. NICE!! :)
Thanks so much! I understand now what to do! Just a quick question: what do you do if your dog isn’t very interested in the box and just focuses on you for the treat?
Hello Nate. Thank you fir giving great advice and training tips. I have a 16 week old German Shepard puppy that I’ll like to teach scent training because he loves to find things. The problem I have is that I don’t know what to teach him to search for. My puppy is just a family dog. Thank you
Thanks! Just use something like lavender. That's what I'm using in this series. It doesn't have to be for working dog purposes, it can be just for fun. :)
I started watching this out of curiosity and as a joke because i kinda want my dog to detect weed and i wanna bust my friends as a joke, but i stayed for the dog training knowledge. You can never know too much. Thanks! You seem very very knowledgeable, have any tips for a 7 month old swiss white shepherd rescue? Not a first timer, but his super stubborn and hyperfocused nature is completely new to me
I have two German shepherds. I swear they must come out the womb wanting to do this. We have never formally trained them to “find” anything but they can! Our female is the one who did it first and she’s taught our make without any prompt from us. If someone has weed….she goes nuts and barks and barks. Head butting the spot or trying to dig. She does the same with mice (we had some move into our chicken coop and she destroys them and we haven’t had a problem since having her). Our male joins in but I don’t think he would seek it out of that makes sense. If I point to things with my stick….she sniffs it like a police dog on tv does and if she doesn’t find what she’s looking for she comes and sits back by me and looks up like “what next” lol. Wish I had time to teach her to do more. She’s so damn smart. Our male is too but they are different lines. She’s a working line and he’s a show line. He’s less excited about working lol. He likes to just look pretty. She is all over when we are doing something in the yard and we don’t even ask. If our kids are hitting softballs off a T, she brings them back. Over time she realized we put them back on the t so if no one is there with a hand out she drops it right at the t or has even tried to put it ON the T. She’s my baby.
I have a German Shepherd, hes 7 months old and nothing I do is enough for him! His mind and body just needs more so I was researching and found this! I’m hoping it’ll help ❤️ now I just need to figure out where to find scents haha
Nate, I have seen in a few of your videos that you will use both a break and a free command. This video is a good example. I am really new to dog training and your videos have been a great help but I am having trouble finding the distinction between the 2 commands anywhere. Is there one or are you just using them as variations of the same thing(terminal marker)? If there is a distinction what is it and how do you train for one over the other? I watched your video on terminal marker vs. continuation marker but there is no mention of a release marker in that video which is what believe I have heard you call the free command.
Thanks, Debra! In this video I had just started training her on scent detection. However, I've been training her since I got her at 8 weeks of age and she is now 5 years old. :)
Just here to learn how to teach my dog how to find my weed when I misplace it
😂 I hope this helps. Lol!
Lmfao 😂😂
Hope he can find your weed card too
Me to
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this video is great! i LOVE how u didn't use an already trained dog like a lot of other ppl! tysm for the video!!
Thank you, Ally& Odin! I appreciate that! :)
@@NateSchoemer np!
That dog looks trained to me
@@billyjones9045 its trained in other things but he barely trained it with what this video was about until he started recording
Definitely one of the best out there!
She is so smart! She caught on so fast!
Thanks! She is my little Einstein! :)

Episode 10: ruclips.net/video/tEU6gM_sHYI/видео.html
Love the platforms.. what about a DIY video where we can get tip about what we can make for our training - platform, shapingbox, etc :) Really enjoyed several of your videos / your channel - just subbed. Much love from Norway.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I do have a video on making the training platform: ruclips.net/video/9zGIGe2m77Y/видео.html
@@NateSchoemer Thank you so much :) I will deff. watch that and make some nice platforms. YEY :) By the way - i love how emphatic and fair you are - very European/Scandinavian dog training style. NICE!! :)
Thank you for a great video! So helpful!!
My pleasure. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! :)
Thank you for sharing this video.
My pleasure. :)
Thank you so much nate!
My Pleasure. Thanks again for supporting the channel! :)
I didn’t understand the yes vs free command. Free=treats? Yes-you did it right & im proud of you?
Yes = Reward
Free = Release and Reward
Thanks so much! I understand now what to do! Just a quick question: what do you do if your dog isn’t very interested in the box and just focuses on you for the treat?
You can also start by placing a treat in the container. Then eventually transition into no treat in the container.
@@NateSchoemer thank you!
Gonna try with my staffie! Definetly will be harder cuz hes stubborn like a tank haha!
You can do it! :)
Success builds on success very nice tip.
new sub here from the Philippines!
Wow ! Thanks for sharing this !
My pleasure! I'm happy you liked it. :)
Am here September 2023 from Africa Kenya... thanks
Hello Nate. Thank you fir giving great advice and training tips. I have a 16 week old German Shepard puppy that I’ll like to teach scent training because he loves to find things. The problem I have is that I don’t know what to teach him to search for. My puppy is just a family dog. Thank you
Thanks! Just use something like lavender. That's what I'm using in this series. It doesn't have to be for working dog purposes, it can be just for fun. :)
I started watching this out of curiosity and as a joke because i kinda want my dog to detect weed and i wanna bust my friends as a joke, but i stayed for the dog training knowledge. You can never know too much. Thanks! You seem very very knowledgeable, have any tips for a 7 month old swiss white shepherd rescue? Not a first timer, but his super stubborn and hyperfocused nature is completely new to me
I have two German shepherds. I swear they must come out the womb wanting to do this. We have never formally trained them to “find” anything but they can! Our female is the one who did it first and she’s taught our make without any prompt from us. If someone has weed….she goes nuts and barks and barks. Head butting the spot or trying to dig. She does the same with mice (we had some move into our chicken coop and she destroys them and we haven’t had a problem since having her). Our male joins in but I don’t think he would seek it out of that makes sense. If I point to things with my stick….she sniffs it like a police dog on tv does and if she doesn’t find what she’s looking for she comes and sits back by me and looks up like “what next” lol. Wish I had time to teach her to do more. She’s so damn smart. Our male is too but they are different lines. She’s a working line and he’s a show line. He’s less excited about working lol. He likes to just look pretty. She is all over when we are doing something in the yard and we don’t even ask. If our kids are hitting softballs off a T, she brings them back. Over time she realized we put them back on the t so if no one is there with a hand out she drops it right at the t or has even tried to put it ON the T. She’s my baby.
Well done sir
Thank you, I appreciate that! :)
Waoo Smart Dog😀👌.. Trying all things.. for Treat, Super Dog & Trainer.👏
what could you use instead of a platform? could you go without? i just don’t have anything like it. hmmm. amazing video thank you!
Great stuff as always Nate. You make owning a Mal look easy. How did Charlie do? Lol
Thanks, Doug! I lucked out with Arih. She's such a great dog. Charlie is amazing too, but not as smart as Arih. Lol! :)
I have a German Shepherd, hes 7 months old and nothing I do is enough for him! His mind and body just needs more so I was researching and found this! I’m hoping it’ll help ❤️ now I just need to figure out where to find scents haha
I'm just using lavender, but you can buy dog training scent kits online. :)
How was the experience? Could you tried?
Always have good videos
Thanks Gregory! I appreciate that. :)
Nate, I have seen in a few of your videos that you will use both a break and a free command. This video is a good example. I am really new to dog training and your videos have been a great help but I am having trouble finding the distinction between the 2 commands anywhere. Is there one or are you just using them as variations of the same thing(terminal marker)? If there is a distinction what is it and how do you train for one over the other? I watched your video on terminal marker vs. continuation marker but there is no mention of a release marker in that video which is what believe I have heard you call the free command.
Hey Anthony! Great question! Jump to 39 minutes into this video. I think I explain it a little better there: ruclips.net/video/3lBJFcWiAzk/видео.html
How long have you been training her and how old is she? This vid is amazing
Thanks, Debra! In this video I had just started training her on scent detection. However, I've been training her since I got her at 8 weeks of age and she is now 5 years old. :)
Love that dog
Thank you! She's super amazing! :)
That is one smart puppy .. amazing
Thank you! :)
VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO 🔥
I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for supporting the channel! 😁🙏🐶🐕
New sub! I look forward to trying this on my dogs
Thanks for subbing! Let me know how the training goes! :)
She really likes to please. Trainer to trainer, beautiful work
Thank you so much, Heather! :)
Thanks!
"My f-r-e-e " hahaha I don't know why I found that funny
Lol! :)
Actually he spell it so the dog won’t pick the wrong behavior since she wasn’t on the plateforme
