Reno PD K9 Get's Chief's Commendation

2010-03-11T15:09:00-05:00

Sorry that I haven't been updating you, but Elza has been keeping us busy. Since January 1st we have seized $770,000 cash, a ton of Marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, pounds of Meth and a bunch of prescription pills. Elza has also been assisting the Street Crimes Unit, Highway Patrol, DEA and patrol unit.

Yesterday Elza was presented with the Chiefs Commendation Medal. She was also given a Kong. Needless to say she wasn't interested in the medal, but loved the Kong.

Elza was a perfect fit for our unit. You and the rest of the Tarheel Staff should be very proud of the quality police dogs that come from your facility. We are assisted daily by the other Tarheel Dogs we have at our department. These other dogs and their handlers are a big part of our success.

I have attached a photo of Elza's award.

Thanks again,

Questions from Reader

2010-02-10T13:49:40-05:00

I just finished reading your book and had a couple of questions for you regarding some of the techniques you described. First it was a great read and I really enjoyed it and I am definitely recommending it!

Countering Techniques:

Pushing the Head.

Do you find that this technique develops a dependency? I have only seen it used by a few trainers but I have found in most that use it their dog's either only counter when their handler uses this technique or counter when they seem to anticipate this (ie the handler coming up the line and moving towards the collar or neck...much like the anticipation or dependency of a choke off.). I would imagine this would be most useful when part of a decoy's repertoire to first teach a reluctant dog to counter but if over done it may lead to a dependency or if only used in rare form to keep from developing a dependency? Do you find any conflict for the dog that has needed a method of induced gag reflex to teach the out? Just curious on your thoughts and experience with this.

Jaw Manipulation.

From your description this technique sounds a lot like implementing a traditional forced-retrieve method to bitework. Is that essentially what it breaks down to and how much repetition do you find is required with this method? Is this something you only use from time to time or does this method have a starting and end point (ie a "finished" retrieve)? Also curious if there is a rate of dependency with this method?

After reading your book and watching more KNPV footage I have been wanting to ask someone why the KNPV Decoys do their face attack as they do?
It looks as though they absorb the hit and pretty much jam the dog every time. I have little experience with KNPV other then videos etc. but was curious what your thoughts are on this decoy approach in trial.

Answer:

Good questions. I think with almost all techniques for countering, there is some kind of physical cue from the decoy/handler (stillness, setting the sleeve parallel to ground or perpendicular, pushing the head, etc) that preceeds the actual physical counter, which is then rewarded. This is why we use the "walking backwards" technique to get the dog to push himself into the grip with the helper doing a natural movement, walking. This is done in conjunction with the head push, and so the dog learns to push in on his own. Also, doing it after a drive, so the drive becomes a cue for the adjust, allows the dog to learn to push both in prey and defense on his own. In the case of how I work dogs, mostly the dog cues on being set down to re-grip (the head push somewhat secondary) and that is easy to fix, using successive approximation, and voila the dog regrips on his own. In PSA and KNPV or Police work, a "pulsing" grip isn't penalized as it is in schutzhund so our dogs tend to constandly drive into the grip while biting, and this is often a more natural bite for a malinois, instead of getting munchy sideways, they drive in to release some of their frustration.......if decoyed properly you eliminate the help from decoy and handler on the adjust and then reward it when it happens on its own......aghain a successive approximation technique at work. I also use the stick over the head, hooking on the back of the neck, and pulling the dog into the grip with the stick itself, so that the dog cues to come into the grip from the stick motion.....

You are right, that it can be over done, and the dog comes to rely on the handler helping the grip, which is also why we have the decoy, handler, and often a 3rd party who may be working the out line, do it as well, as with police dogs, there can be multiple people over the dog during an arrest. This deconditions the dog to this kind of behavior as well.

The Jaw manipulation technique is not one I prefer, but i have seen it used a lot in Belgium with different dogs, and yes, there will come a time when the dog learns that poor grip position is uncomfortable relatiuve to good grip position, but it is a technique that has to be used carefully. I have seen it used a lot on Malinois puppies at a young age, but again by experienced people. The same thing can be done as described above, you slowly eliminate the assistance from the helper, and reward adjustment when it comes without help, and the dog will do it on his own.

The KNPV is a traditional sport, and the decoy work in a trial has been done that way forever - it is often described as Gladitorial. Because the dog bites in the bicep, the jam isn't as bad as it could be, but you won't see the decoys spinning the dogs. If a dog knocks down a decoy on a trial exercise, the dog automatically gets full points, so the decoys fight against falling down (easier to do if you are spinning the dog on the hit - falling that is). If that rule was eliminated, there would be fewer jams, since the cost of falling would be eliminated, but as well, handlers select big powerful dogs to try to take the decoys down, and that is what people like about KNPV....not so much the points byt the strong bullies the KNPV produces....

Serendipitous Training

2010-02-08T09:45:51-05:00

Serendipitous - definition - to come upon by accident.

I have found over the years, that a lot of my best insights into training have come about by accident, and are therefore classified as "serendipitous." Here is an example.....

I am sitting in a chair out front of my building, one of the police K9 handlers comes around a car, and his dog sees me and the dog is in that moment of conflict between lighting up on me and not......the handler immediately verbally corrects the dog, making him less likely to aggress on me or any other passive person. I think it is important, obviously, to let our new handlers know how to recognize those moments of serendipitous training that occur all the time, so that their dogs are more likely to give them the responses they want, even when they come outside of structured training, or at least to take a lesson from these situations and set them up as training.

Another example: We teach our detection handlers to make a clear context for a narcotics sniff. The dog usually comes to the search area, is made to sit, and then started with an initial presentation.....but how many times does a handler walk to the area, close enough for the dog to already be in odor at the start, and the handler corrects the dog into the sit, away from following his nose dorectly to the odor he already got a whiff of??

If handlers are aware of these serendipitous moments, we can prepare them for these accidental gems, to be on the lookout for them, when the dog comes upon it on his own, and his head is already engaged without the handler telling him what is to come.....

Training in The Virgin Islands

2010-01-31T13:22:00-05:00

So much for good intentions. One shortcoming of the hotel we were staying in is a lack of in-room high-speed internet access. To get internet access you have to climb down the hill to the lobby and connect there, so after long days of training, that became a less than inviting option. That's why there were no posts after the first day. Our training schedule ran from 10am - 8pm most nights, so we were a bit tired when we got back.

We sit here now, on Saturday afternoon, in the restaurant bar of the Best Western Emerald Beach Hotel, waiting for 5pm to come in order to check in. We were supposed to be back in NC by today, however, the weather event on the east coast prevented our flying out, as all flights from Miami were cancelled to RDU on friday and saturday, and the best re-booking option ended up being Tuesday morning. So we moved out of the Point Pleasant Resort and came to the Best Western for the last two days of our extended trip.

On this trip we accomplished a lot. The 5 dogs we sold to St. Thomas, with the leadership of Sgt. Gonzales and Trainer Ecedro Lindquist, look great 3 months out from their handler courses. The green handlers have improved their handling, and the dogs have advanced. We were very happy to see that we could spend a majority of our time training with them in scenario-based training exercises. There were very few issues that needed remediation. The 2 new dogs we brought performed well. The black GSD took a few days to aclimatize, but when he did, he looked sharp, civil, and has a hell of a grip.

My new FLIP video camera has taken about 140 videos of our time here, and as we are going to be marooned on this island for a couple more nights, I will be uploading them for all to see.

While here, we rode along with the SRT teams to a few calls, one being a gang-related homicide, another was automatic gunfire, and as we were leaving our very last training session, were able to listen to the radio traffic as one of our dogs, K9 Taiphun & Handler James Dowe, were able to flush a burglery suspect from a perimetered wooded area to patrol officers for arrest and a nice apprehension.

The K9 officers here have to contend with very thick brush, of jungle-like consistency, and a very dense population on an island of only 32 square miles. Outside of the resort areas, there are some really hardcore gangs and really bad guys out there. Their per-capita homocide rate is one of the highest in the US (VI being a US Territory). The police here are dedicated, and the police administration is serious about attacking crime here, and the re-emergence of the K9 unit is one of the steps they are taking to fight crime here.

The K9 training we did incorporated night-time apprehensions, bailouts, multiple subject apprehensions, recall exercises, tactical applications of obedience skills, building searches, area searches, cadaver, explosives and narcotics detection in a variety of venues, and some tracking. On monday of last week, the sister island of St. Croix sent their 3 handlers over with the three dogs they also got from us, and I wish we had more time to work with them, as they came only for the second week of training.

Jeff and Rob at TK9 did a great job working with these guys, and put out a good product. I got to see for myself the quality work they put in (along with all the others that contributed to the USVI handler course and training and preparation of the dogs, including Kyli, Janet, and Matt). I am proud of all of them for their work and dedication to be the best.

Videos will be posted soon on our photobucket account, and once we are back, on the website.

I hear it is below 20 degrees on most of the east coast.....sorry for your bad luck, we're at the beach, yo!!

Training in the US Virgin Islands

2010-01-19T00:00:00-05:00

Jeff and I arrived without incident into St. Thomas, and were met by our friends from the VIPD to take the last 2 dogs on the contract, and give us a ride to the hotel. Being that it was late, around 9:30pm. we couldnt see much of the island from the roads.

We got to the hotel, and discovered that everything on the island shuts down around 10:00, and someone could make a fortune if they started an after-hours delivery service here. We went to bed hungry and had a comfortable night's rest.

Our accomodations are on the top of a large hillside overlooking the bay, but it wasn't until the next morning that the full glory of the landscape was revealed to us. The water is a beautiful deep blue-green, and the lush hillsides that surround the bay, as well as the numerous uninhabited Cays, lend such depth to the view. Our room balcony stays in shade most of the day, and the warm breeze comes right to us being so nice and high above the water.

We ventured out this morning in search of something to eat and came to the hotel lobby for a quick bite before descending down the hill to the waterside where we ate and enjoyed the view of the bay. The walk back to the room was challenging as it is all uphill on winding roads for about a half mile, or you take some steep stairs cut into the hillside. All in all, though a very nice place to have to work.

Our hosts picked us up, and we doid some food shopping, since we are here for 2 weeks, we chose an efficiency. We are scheduled for a meet and greet with the police commissioner's asst. and some other big wigs this afternoon. Links to pics and more to come tomorrow!

In the News: K9 Reliability in Explosives Detection

2010-01-12T09:30:00-05:00

http://www.policeone.com/explosives-eod/articles/1988568-Answering-criticism-of-explosive-detection-machines-and-K-9s/

Layered approaches to security are needed. Terrorists are rational problem solvers, and will work to stay ahead of our systems, we need to layer systems to reduce the probability of a successful attempt. As it is now, we are completely "reactive" to these events, scurrying about after the Christmas day attempt - talking up body scanners and other technologies, as if we shouldn;t have bee talking about this all along.

Further, I believe private-public partnerships can reduce costs and bring better screening. The new found American belief that only government can keep them safe is wrong headed. In Europe private security companies run all kinds of security in transportation networks, and are skilled and successful. It is time we start realizing that government cannot be the only entity to keep us safe, and as their mission increases in complexity, so does the bureaucracy which thwarts the mission. Government by its nature is very inefficient at solving problems of this kind, and we should at least talk about public - private partnerships.

K9 Instructor Courses at TK9

2009-12-21T00:00:00-05:00

Many more police departments are seeing the utility of sending senior handlers or departmental trainers to get formal instruction. At TK9, we offer a variety of K9 Instructor courses - for Detection only, or full Instructor courses covering detection, trailing/tracking (hard surface), obedience and Patrol. This instruction allows increased performance on the street, as instructors are better educated and equipped to handle traiing issues, deployment issues, and problems that come up in the course of a dog's service. It also allows the instructor to challenge the teams during i serviuce training with fresh ideas about training and deployment procedures. Instructors will be equipped to answer questions and explain the "why" behind an approach to a traiing exercise.

Instructors get the opportunity at TK9 to both work with dogs in training for our customers as well as to assist with handler courses, where trained dogs are matched up with handlers. At TK9 we want instructors to understand the "why" behind training, so that they can properly problem solve issues that come up during training. We stress open communication with our instructors, and full hands on participation in both training and instructing.

A full complement of lectures are also provided covering the various training technologies that we employ for detection, tracking, obedience and patrol training. We encourage you to contact us today to ask about our courses, and upon request we will send you references, and pricing, and a syllabus of the courses. Courses are tailored to an agency's needs ad the experience level of the student instructor. Courses begin the first monday of any month of the year, except for December. Courses run 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks. We also have a special 2 week accelerated course.

Call today to talk to Jerry or Janet about our instructor courses!

The Little Things

2009-12-17T10:45:50-05:00

When training dogs, it is the little things that matter. If you can't do a full session of training, break down a small aspect of a behavior chain, and reinforce it. Set out one drug hide, and one blank area insteas of ah hour's worth of training.

Do 5 minutes of heeling, 5 sits and 5 downs while waiting for a call, practice recalls and finishes with rewards when you let your dog out to pee. If you think of all the times you put off working your dog because you had no time for a full session of training, and think of what you might have achieved if you just did 5 reps of a simple behavior, you might realize thet the little things add up to a lot over the course of a year!

Detection Training with Reward from Source Device

2009-11-18T00:00:00-05:00

I recently was asked this question: "Using the Reward from Source device in boxes, I'm on my 3rd or 4th session, and I'm afraid the dog will become conditioned to respond on boxes, should I vary the context in which I use the device, and get away from boxes?"

This question highlights an important issue in dog training. That issue being discrimination in training. In other words, when we teach a dog to respond on drugs, say, in a box using the reward from Source device (RFSD) there is a chance that the dog will associate the reward with the object - the box. However, if our training is set up properly, there is little chance this will happen.

The blank boxes are critical in this training, because it is through use of blank boxes and placing other distractor odors (fresh, uncontaminated plastic baggies, kongs, PVC pipe, etc) in them that the dog learns to ignore the associated objects and their odors, and respond only on the drug odor. We must be careful to realize that during this process the dog may try to respond on these other odors/objects that are associated with drug training, but the trainer must realize this is a natural part of the training progression.

The trainer must be patient, and withold rewards for incorrect responses (negative punishment), in order for the dog to make the leap of understanding that it is only a final response while in the drug odor that will bring his reward. Trainers get too impatient, and then choose to avoid the issue altogether. However, by failing to do this extinction training, you almost guarantee that your dog will respond on toys, boxes or any other odor that might be associated with his detection training.

Have patience and understand how to properly work the dog through these issues, and you will end up with a dog that is TRAINED to ignore distractors.

Training Question: Detection Dog's Searching

2009-11-18T00:00:00-05:00

Issue: In detection work, the dog's drive is over the top, and he spins and barks during the search pattern, and it distracts him from good searching. What should I do?

You may need to change your context cues for his searching. Most handlers show the toy and get the dog in drive, before sending the dog to search. You might want to work on a long down, and put him in a down for a minute or two before quietly starting the search. Whisper his search command. Don’t talk to him while he is searching, and wean off a lot of presentation (movement in the search area by you can kick him into higher drive) and let him work it out on his own. He needs to learn that barking and spinning doesn’t win him the toy. As his handler you need to complement his temperament. You need to be quiet and calm to counter act his over the top drivey behavior.

Imagine you had the opposite problem, where the dog didn’t show enough passion for the searching, what would you do? You would give him easier finds, and quick rewards, and lots of very vocal praise, and probably more handler assistance to build interest. In this case you need to do the exact opposite. You need to make the hides more challenging, and as well, do a very large proportion of blank areas to non-blank areas. The dog needs to realize his searching will go on for a while. Dogs that have this problem are usually being worked in their in-service training with short problems and quick finds, so the dog comes to anticipate his reward is coming very fast, adding to the anticipation of the outcome. If the dog has tons of energy, giving him his Kong at the beginning usually will not result in getting him calmed down, but rather more excited, because you give him what he wants right out of the gate as you have found out.

Many Malinois are very impatient and impulsive dogs and must be taught to work their scent detection and tracking in a lower than normal gear, as they are often wont to work in “sprint” mode as opposed to “distance” mode. Making the problem more complex, demanding more concentration, with rewards spaced out longer, will over time, teach the dog to work longer at a good level of concentration. Make the rewards a little more variable, and don’t reward every find with his toy. Sometimes just praise him off of it, and start another search.

Unfortunately, by virtue of the limited training time available to most officers, scenarios are often set up and worked rather quickly, with fast results, and while for some dogs this works, for other dogs this makes for very impulsive behavior.

PSA Regionals 2009 - Baltimore MD

2009-09-28T00:00:00-05:00

The regional event was excellent. We had probably the best overall quality of dogs from top to bottom - from the PDCs to the PSA 3s and it was a pleasure to see the teams so well prepared. The venue was excellent at Brandon Woods park in MD near Baltimore. The same venue will be hosting the Nationals on October 31, 2009.

The weather held out for most of the day until the level 3s. The event was a joint event hosted by Metropolitan K9 and our own TK9 Protection Sports Association. The decoy work was top notch. Rob Kelly, Shawn Edwards, Chad Reynolds, John Daniels, Patrick Salerno, and Albert did a great job testing the dogs. Judge Rick Furrow made a very fair and challenging evaluation. The level 3 scearios were tough but very fair, and both days Greg Williams of Metropolitan K9 came extremely close to getting his level 3 closed out. I'm sure we will se him do it at Nationals!

The PSA Forum has all the results (www.psak9forum.com) and in fact Janet Dooley of TK9 twittered and facebooked real time results, and we hope to continue to do this at all our trials including upcoming nationals, so that interested PSA followers can find out scores and results up to the minute!

Special thanks to Tree Furrow for coaching TK9s Gina Allen on how to do the trial secretary work, they both did an excellent job keeping the trial moving quickly and getting the final results tabulated.

Congratulations to all the participants, and thank you for the great sportsmanship!

Successive Approximation

2009-09-24T10:30:12-05:00

In some tests of green dogs, I see trainers take a dog on a sleeve, and then shoot the gun directly over their head. The vast majority of green dogs will at a minimum startle over this unless they have been conditioned (taught) to bite under gunfire. Using this as a method to weed out dogs at the beginning of training, is in my opinion, faulty as it weeds out perfectly good dogs.

I do agree that a dog chosen for patrol training should have some reasonable threshold at which it will accept gunfire - such as 30 or so yards away - so that it doesn't startle at strange noises. Agreed.

The way I like to see the test, is to start at 30 yards, and if the dog stays on the grip through the gunfire, move the gun closer to the dog and decoy (about 5 yard increments) and repeat, then closer and repeat, and finally move AWAY 5 yards and shoot a final time. This is a successful training session employing successive approximation. We are tryig tosuccessively (incrementally) approximate shooting directly over the dog's head. If you continue this process, in about 2 or three more sessions, the gun will be directly behind the decoy and the dog has been conditioned to accept the gunfire in proximity to him, as he bites through the noise.

As you can see, this can be done in training as well. A little pre-planing can make it so that you don;t create problems you then have to go back and fix.

Think about how you can use this method to teach youg dogs to bite on stairs, open stairs, tight spaces, bite through thresholds, bite up on top of objects, etc.....pre planning and successive approximation is the key!

Note: When the gunfire gets close, protect your dog;s hearing. Use the same successive approximation (perhaps using food reward) to get your dog to accept cotton balls in his ears without scratching at them. This will come in handy when you go to the range and practice shooting over your dog.....of course after proper successive approximation.
