Training Philosophy

Great detection is in the details

Attention to detail is where we shine. We believe in working beyond ‘good enough’, and that detection should be more than just a single simplistic behavior. We teach multiple different search behaviors with precision and clear criteria, and have high expectations for our dogs.

Flexibility makes progress

Our training methods are not rigid. We adapt to the dog in front of us and the skill level of the trainer or handler. Rigid training systems don’t often consider all external factors which influence the system, and flexibility is necessary to make progress in difficult training situations.

Convention is outdated

Tradition for the sake of tradition is outdated. We thrive on creativity, and believe in underground ideas and scientific research that question our basic assumptions. The evolution of detection requires non-conventional thinking and a willingness to be open minded.
