A nice wee change yesterday doing some proactive training at Smith&Sons coaches of Perth with the handlers and their dogs.
Lately we have been doing a lot of passive training with the dogs that we have in and handlers so was great to challenge them in the way they have to approach and think about the way in which they search and navigate a proactive environment.
Well done teams👏
BASTARDS 😂😂😂😂 (warning explicit language)
Olly showing the young trainee labs how it is done, with a nice re indication throwing in there for good measures. Such a cocky wee bu**er 😊
Young Skye today hitting the mark again in training. This young lady is almost ready to be leaving us and joining her handler. She in now fully imprinted and searching extremely confidently with live bodies in various venues and accompanied with a beautiful follow and solid indication. Going to be sad to see this wee girl leave us, she has been a joy.
Olly playing at being a big dog tonight and trying to win a game of tug with his dad 😂😂
Afternoon all.
Just wanted to let all of our volunteers know that Sunday at Rattery has been cancelled and will be at Blair bowling club Monday morning at the usual time of 0930hrs.
Lovely progression from Red who has been with us almost four weeks. He is fully imprinted on the five main target scents he is trained to find and is searching with great confidence both on the frames and with live bodies.
We have worked extremely hard on his focus and indication which has now become extremely solid.
Few more weeks to go in his progression and working on following and indication with moving lines.
Volunteers.
Just a wee reminder we will be at Dalcrue tomorrow morning from 1000hrs if you can spare the time😊
Hot bacon rolls for breakfast tomorrow.

Would like to introduce you to this handsome young fella RED. He is here for his two week assessment in which we hope he does really well and can further his training to become a passive drug detection dog. Follow along with him on his progress.
30/07/2022
This beautiful young lady is 15 month old Wren who is with me for the next couple weeks for an assessment before she hopefully embarks on her journey as a passive/ proactive drug detection dog. The last couple days she has shown great promise. We will update her progress as she moves forward.
29/07/2022
Morning,
I have some dates for this coming week for volunteers to help assist team Mandy and team Callum before their assessment date on August 28th, if you could all assist on that date would be truly appreciated.
We will be at

We also have joining us this week two new dogs in for assessment, the lovely Wren 15 month old Labrador and the handsome boy Red who is almost a year old. We hope to see you at some if not all of the days this week.
Many thanks

It was a Lilly day yesterday. Over the last few weeks we have been really busy with client dogs in for training, so yesterday I spent the time with my absolute favourite girl in the world.
Started with a 0500 run in the paddock followed by her favourite towel dry then onto a wee training session on the frames.
Week three for young Skye and coming along nicely. She now is on 4 target odours and her indication is shaping up well and being obedient to the odour.
Unfortunately this week I have been recovering from a chest infection so she back on search frames but is searching well on live bodies also. Progression the next couple weeks will be with her follow which she has already started.

Well done team.
