In this episode of HFA we continue our discussion with Sonja Nordstrom on Selecting and Starting a Human Remains Detection dog in Part 2 of the conversation. In Part 2 we discuss in detail different methodologies of exposing dogs to odor, in addition to the odor imprinting process for green dogs.
We also discuss dedication to odor, proofing off non-target odors and the all important TFR (mistakenly referred to by me as "FTR"). This episode is a great guide to HR handlers who are thinking of how to start their next dog, and provides great context and gotchas for adding odor to your dog.
