Harry started his cadaver scent training a few months ago, this is only his THIRD time out on "the job" and he is LOVING IT!!!
First session of scent imprinting we used an elbow (yes guys, a decomp. elbow..)
Second session small cooler of blood soaked dirt.
Third session (THIS ONE) was a small glass jar of that same dirt. This find was his FIFTH find of the day the others were concealed in rocks, behind fences and buried in snow. This one i was SUPER proud of as he found the article (no sound sorry) above his head, and on a stinky dumpster!!!
he LOVES to work and is slowly learning the sit on scent....which will be how he is to alert....he also makes sure that prego mom (due in june) SEES that he found the scent and that he is off to find more...so we refocus him with a command but the video runs out.
I am super proud of him, and we are looking at getting a few more training sessions in this week, then getting together with the local search group to do some work when they get together!
I also apologize for the cruddy sun and shadows..they weren't flattering to him or me..lmao
Hope you enjoy!!!
