Podcasts about working dogs

"Problem-solving is hunting; it is savage pleasure and we are born to it.”  – Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the LambsJoin the Amys for a fascinating conversation with innovative dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath, who's turning canine noses into powerful conservation tools… What started as a simple passion project for a research article has grown into a mission-driven crusade against the spotted lanternfly—one of America's most destructive invasive species.We explore how scent detection training works, why dogs are uniquely suited for this kind of environmental work, and how Melissa is bringing this training into shelters—giving dogs not only enrichment and purpose, but potentially a second chance at adoption. From the science of odor detection to the real-world impact on ecosystems and agriculture, this conversation bridges behavior, enrichment, and conservation in a truly inspiring way.Whether you're a trainer, veterinarian, or just someone who loves seeing dogs make a difference, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what our canine companions are capable of, and how they might just help save our trees.Grab a cocktail, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees

What to listen for:“Everything I knew about my dog that I thought was true a week ago is no longer true. I have to reset my baseline and go, ‘Who are you today?'”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, pick up the conversation with Joy Brenner of K9 Medic. This time, they're talking about turning everyday crate time into deliberate heat acclimation.Joy explains that many handlers keep cars too cold, creating a dangerous temperature “delta” that leaves dogs physiologically unprepared for field work. Instead, she programs her dog Storm by running the car just below panting level during downtime, shrinking that gap and building real biological tolerance. This is exactly what military and kennel dogs get by living outside.High-fidelity monitoring makes it safe.Cheap baby cameras with temperature readouts and night vision let handlers watch remotely and check every 20 minutes during high-risk windows (right after work or when AC fails) because “temperature has momentum” and cars remain a leading cause of preventable heat death.They discuss crate fans, breathable pads, reflective car covers, and the limited but situational value of cooling vests (ask your dog). Another practical tip is to do two-minute “t-checks” (transitions checks) at every car entry, with copious water and paw inspections.Whether traveling from Iowa's sweaty season to mountain fires or simply switching seasons, it's important to reset baselines daily and support the dog you actually have today. Key Topics:Crate Acclimation and Reducing the Temperature Delta (01:35)Why Nosework and LE Handlers Must Stop Over-Cooling Cars (03:44)High-Risk Monitoring Windows (09:41)Baby Cameras for Real-Time Safety and Acclimation (12:59)Resetting Your Baseline (23:45)“Ask Your Dog!” (26:53)T-Checks, Paw Inspections, and Copious Water Decon (34:19)Key Takeaways (40:25) Resources:·      K9 Medic: https://www.k9medic.com/·      K9 Medic First Aid Kit: https://www.k9medic.com/gear/·      K9 Medic Academy: https://www.k9medic.com/#loginWe 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.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Think Like a Dog, Andreia and Millie break down one of their most complex rescue cases: Bug.Bug isn't your typical “easy” dog. With a bite history, reactivity triggers, and a personality that requires structure, he represents a category of dogs that are often misunderstood, and too often given up on. This conversation goes beyond surface-level training advice and dives into what it really means to live with, manage, and advocate for a dog like him.Bug is extremely smart, eager to learn, and full of potential, but like many dogs, people tend to focus on his challenges instead of his strengths.Andreia and Millie discuss the realities of bite risk, why structure is not punishment, and how environment, expectations, and human behavior directly shape a dog's outcomes. They also explain why traditional “affection-first” approaches don't work for every dog, and how clarity, routine, and leadership can completely transform behavior.This episode is essential for anyone dealing with reactivity, considering adoption, or trying to better understand dogs that don't fit the “happy-go-lucky” mold. It challenges common myths in rescue and training and offers a more honest, effective framework for building a relationship with your dog.CLICK HERE to learn more about Bug. Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

What to listen for:"Unless you have a dog who is engaged with you, you can't build that relationship. And you can't get through distractions. It's impossible.”Today, our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, are talking relationships. Specifically, what it actually means to have one with your dog when the pressure is on. They argue that a real relationship isn't Kumbaya, it's the thing that keeps a dog still on a medic's table and calm on a tailgate in Texas!Robin describes bringing her working dogs, the Labs Flash and Flare, and her Malinois, Nico, to a USAR medic training where the team practiced catheter placement and restraint under veterinary supervision.Flash and Flare wrestled the medics into a genuine upper-body workout. Nico simply lay still, held by a raised finger and three years of earned trust. Meanwhile, Stacy recounts her wilderness air scent SAR dog, Prize, enduring an improvised dewclaw removal on a truck tailgate during a study at Texas Tech, stoic because the years of shared work had already made Stacy's presence genuinely reassuring.Relationship and engagement are not soft concepts but functional prerequisites.Without engagement, a dog cannot regulate arousal. Without regulated arousal, a dog cannot sustain focus through distraction. Without focus, a search develops holes, and holes erode the handler's ability to call an area clear with confidence, whether in competition or in the field.Stacy and Robin are careful to frame searching not as a single behavior but as a layered chain requiring relationship, engagement, arousal, focus, and what Stacy calls the reinforcement event.That means a full celebratory interaction, not just a cookie, that imprints the preceding behavior far more deeply.Reading a learner, distinguishing processing from disengagement, hunting from scavenging: these are the observation skills that underlie everything else. Key Topics:Nico at Medic Training: Trust Under Restraint (02:32)Prize's Field Dewclaw Removal at Texas Tech (06:04)Reframing Relationship as Engagement (07:38)Directionals as a Tool for Reading Disengagement (09:21)Reading Body Language at Distance: Prize and the Cinder Blocks (14:33)Reinforcement Events vs. Simple Rewards (19:48)Arousal Cycles in Dogs… and Chickens (28:30)Focused Searchers and Clearing Areas With Confidence (35:20) Resources:Distraction Camp and Upcoming Events: https://www.k9detectioncollaborative.com/eventsWe 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.

Send us Fan MailSpring in the North Woods turns into a real-life treasure hunt, and the prize is moose antlers hidden in cuts, fir thickets, and winter feeding areas. We're joined by Maine hunter and YouTuber Cory Ryder to talk shed hunting the way it actually happens: long miles, wet boots, and learning to read the forest instead of hoping for luck.Cory shares the story behind his Black Lab, Gracie, and how she went from an energetic puppy chewing on an old broken paddle to a focused shed dog that can smell what your eyes will never catch. We dig into practical shed dog training, why basic obedience and clear rewards matter, and how a dog's maturity can be the difference between chaos and consistency. If you've searched for “how to train a shed dog,” “shed hunting with a Labrador,” or “moose antler hunting tips,” this conversation stays grounded in what works without gimmicks.We also get tactical about finding sheds in Maine: identifying winter moose habitat in four- to five-year-old logging cuts, using rubs and browse lines as clues, and leaning on mapping tools like satellite imagery and tracking to cover ground efficiently and even match sets. Then we go beyond the hunt into the antler market, including buyers, dog chew demand, decor uses, and why coyotes, bears, and rodents seem so interested in antlers too.If you enjoyed this one, subscribe for more working dog and big-woods hunting talk, share the episode with a hunting buddy, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Timing the puppy training early and with a directed purpose, and handling the fear periods in dogs.   Habituation, spontaneous recovery, sensitization, and learned irrelevance.   When to reorient and when to address fears.  Understanding your dog's phobias to learn how to solve the problem.  Common fears and phobias seen in police and sport dogs.     Key Takeaways: Too many people restrict social and experiential learning in puppies during the critical stages of development out of fear.  As a decoy, as a handler, as anyone working with a young dog, you need to be attentive to what you're doing and always be surveying your environment to avoid unintended consequences.  Avoid creating a problem that doesn't already exist. Take a systematic approach to expose your dog to everything they need to be exposed to.  Generally, fear periods are short-lived. Take your dog into more familiar places, more natural spaces, where it's not going to encounter a lot of things that are going to be super unusual or might provoke a fearful response.   "I have a phobia about creating phobias. I don't want to create a phobia in my dog, because the road is going to be super long to try and systematically desensitize to any type of stimuli that's been created as an avoidance response." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Book Reference:  The Decoy Book by William Garrido - amazon.com/Decoy-Book-Collaborations-Some-Industry/dp/B08T6YGWSD Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training by Stephen R.

What to listen for:“Trust your dog, but trust your training first.”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, welcome back veteran USAR handler Bob Deeds to talk about the artificial divide between working dog and sport detection communities, and why both sides desperately need each other!Bob shares his journey from FEMA disaster work into nose work, leading into his innovative "geo-scenting" protocol. This hybrid sport combines geocaching with scent detection using clove oil, specifically chosen to avoid the venue-hopping confusion he observed in sport handlers who switched between organizations.Sport handlers often remain clique-ish, loyal to single venues (K9 Nose Work vs. NACSW) despite identical underlying science. Bob advocates aggressively for cross-training, noting how watching elite sport handlers transformed his leash skills after a Belgian trainer bluntly told him they "sucked."Meanwhile, working dog handlers can learn environmental assessment and body language reading from sport competitors operating under time pressure. Bob describes sport handlers' eyes "scanning like machines" upon room entry.He also considers puzzle work as the great equalizer. He recounts how a struggling student's reactive Standard Poodle transformed after two weeks of pure puzzle training.All this and more in this episode of K9 Detection Collaborative! Key Topics:Geo-Scenting Origins and Clove Oil Selection (08:04)Building Confidence Through Scent Work in Reactive Dogs (16:00)Environmental Assessment Skills in Sport vs. Working Dogs (17:56)Leash Handling Skills and Learning from Sport Handlers (19:34)Final Response Debate and Reading Body Language (21:02)The Clique Problem in Sport Detection Communities (26:13)Puzzle Training Philosophy and Adapting on the Fly (35:58)Takeaways (41:15) Resources:Dog Scouts of America: GeoScentingCanine ConnectionK9 Sensus: Using Chickens to Train TrainersFenzi Dog Sports Academy: Schedule We 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.

This episode we head to Soda Springs, Idaho to visit with Tony and Monica Rosen of Dirtbag Ranch—first-generation Texas Longhorn breeders and well-known Bloodhound breeders/trainers. We dig into how they built a Longhorn program from scratch, what they prioritize in structure and disposition, and how Idaho weather, forage, and terrain shape day-to-day decisions. Then we switch collars to talk Bloodhounds—breeding philosophy, training foundations, and how nose work, patience, and reading behavior carry over to working cattle.Tony and Monica share the realities of juggling two serious programs, winter prep and calving in the high country, fencing and handling for calm cattle, and the community that's helped them learn fast. It's a conversation about grit, good dogs, good cattle—and carving out a ranch identity on fresh ground.Dirtbag Ranch: https://www.dirtbagranchid.com/THE NOSE KNOWS: Missing local 8-year-old found safe thanks to community effort and bloodhound Miss MaeSend us a text From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

In this episode, I'm talking about working dogs—and what happens when one goes missing. After a brief life update, I share the story of our livestock guardian dog, Ranger, and the events leading up to his disappearance. From late-night disturbances to injuries on multiple dogs, this episode explores the reality of relying on a guardian dog to protect a farm and the emotional weight of not knowing what happened. I also address common misconceptions about working dogs, especially livestock guardian breeds like Great Pyrenees—how they're raised, why they live differently than house pets, and why pet standards don't always apply to working roles. Drawing from my background with hunting, herding, and farm dogs, I explain the difference between livestock guardians and farm guardians and invite listeners to think critically about breed-specific needs, farm protection, and respectful support during hard seasons.

Do you remember the feeling you had when you first started hunting? Maybe it was the first time you were able to hunt on your own with no supervision. If you were born before social media it was not an event to capture content for likes and shares.
