Can you trust your detection dog 100% of the time?

Can you prove his reliability in court?

Would you like to?

Then you need a dog trained the Zauberberg way. Our proven system for narcotic and explosive detection dogs is solidly based on the scientific principles and theories of animal behavior and learning.

What’s more, our approach eliminates the most serious pitfall of traditional methods of odor detection training: handler dependance. That’s because traditional methods associate the toy-reward with the odor itself. They trick the dog into thinking the place of the toy equals the place of the odor. And when the dog is weaned off the toy, the dog becomes more and more handler focused, looking for small body signs that might indicate where to look to get the toy.

Handler involvement is a BIG issue in the courts of law where K9 handlers must PROVE that its the dog alone who finds the source of the odor. Handler help with indication can result in a case thrown out.

Dogs trained the Zauberberg way are NOT handler dependent. Our dogs are not tricked into believing that the place of the odor equals the place of the toy. Our dogs do not have to be “weaned” off the toy. In fact, the sight of the toy in the handler’s hand becomes the cue for the dog to SEARCH for the target odor.

So would you like to trust your dog? 100% of the time? We can help. Talk to us today about our training programs and seminars.

Or if you prefer, we also have detection dogs, fully trained the Zauberberg way, available for sale.
