What to listen for:“You're putting so much pressure on yourself, and that's impacting your dog.”Today, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing chat about what they've been up to lately, including their recent experience at the Muscatatuck Open, a high-level canine detection seminar known for its complex scent theory drills and immersive training.They discuss how the seminar's intense setups—with full-body donor work, long-term odor problems, and unique hide placements—challenged both handlers and dogs in ways that left a lasting impact.Robin juggled certification tests and a 10-week-old Labrador while Crystal flew straight from early retirement into the dog training world's version of a dream tour!The Dames of Detection reflect on the Muscatatuck seminar: a high-level, all-inclusive training camp that delivered not just technically, but mentally and emotionally, as well.Muscatatuck was a series of complex challenges—from scent voids and convergence hides to managing large source odors. It was, as one student put it, transformational.Crystal, still raw from leaving her teaching career, shares how her pressure-sensitive dog Radish mirrored her inner state, teaching her the value of emotional regulation in handling. Stacy, working a freshly postpartum dog, found reassurance in her dog's ability to locate a full-body aid, critical for live-find dogs deployed in unpredictable search-and-rescue scenarios.Key Topics:Postpartum Puppy Drama & Emergency Care (04:36)General Impressions of Muscatatuck (10:15)Using Full Body Donors to Train Live-Find Dogs (22:30)Muscatatuck's Multi-Day Scent Theory Challenges (25:34)Favorite “Aha” Moments from Instructors & Students (32:19)Competitive Searches, Training on Burned Fields, and Real-World Aids (43:43)Resources:Save the Date for K9Sensus @MUTC 2026 -- May 28-Jun 1, 2026Suncoast ForensicsLink to the Study about human scentEpisodes featuring Lauryn DeGreeffDistraction Camp EpisodesWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Welcome back to the shit show! Krys covers the story of Muscatatuck Developmental Center. While this is not a fun story, it is a story that needs to be told. This was originally called the Indiana Farm Colony for the Feeble Minded Youth (their words, not ours) and proceeded to practice eugenics on this “class” of people. Way to go Indiana… This was the home for folks with lower IQs and did give them jobs as well. Cue a good staff and better ways to help folks, and part of the population at Muscatatuck was “happy” at their home. The eugenics seemed to be sidelined due to WWII (wonder why) but still went on way too long. Cue some abuse allegations and losing their Medicare funding, Muscatatuck closed. Stories like this are important to tell just for the sheer fact that we need to know how to do better for our fellow people. Tori covers the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery in Seattle Washington. The Grand Army of the Republic was a fraternal order of Civil War veterans. There were at least five cemeteries of the same name in several different states. These cemeteries were the final resting place for Civil War vets and the one in Seattle seems to be the home to the restless dead or at least echoes of them. Krysti rounds us out with the tale of the Rock in the House. Yups, this charming place sits in the same state as the House on the Rock. Why not capitalize on boulders crashing through your house?

This episode features a conversation with Nicholas Marchuk, the special operations forces training and testing development lead at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center. Unlike other US Army urban training sites, Muscatatuck is not a mock city, but real urban terrain that includes everything from a five-story hospital, a jail, and a water plant to urban pattern-of-life features like a closed cell phone and cyber network.
The Army already owns what amounts to fully-functional city it uses that it uses for traditional military training events in southeastern Indiana. But until recently, it hasn't been used for cyber training. Officials have high hopes that a new set of exercises at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center will give cyber protection teams a much more realistic training experience than they'd get at the "cyber ranges" DoD currently operates. Ed Skoudis and John Nix from the SANS institute join us to discuss the "Cybertropolis" environment SANS has been helping the Army build in southeastern Indiana. Also on this week's show, Chris Cornillie from Bloomberg Government talks with Jared about Bgov's latest analysis on DoD's spending on other transation agreements. And Bill Woods joins us from the Government Accountability Office to talk about GAO's latest recommendations to revitalize DoD's moribund processes for buying commercial goods and services.
