Host Jeff Meyer sits down with longtime K9 instructor Gary Haddon for an in-depth episode on detector-dog operations, training philosophy, and real-world deployment. The conversation focuses on obedience to odor: how to bring the dog to the hunt, not the toy, and shape dogs to ignore visual and food distractions while staying laser-focused on scent. Gary and Jeff compare reward strategies (primary rewards vs. markers), building distance, leash-counter techniques, proofing with distractors, and practical ways to teach dogs to re-engage on source odor versus non-productive odors.
