Search dog Training:Housebound
1t's winter here, which is perfectly ok, dogs need to learn to scent in the winter as well as th summer. But the problem right now is ice. Ice makes it extremely difficult for everyone, the dog, the handler, and the person you are hiding. There are alternatives. You can do building searches in the winter, it's a good time to get stuff like that done. You can also do other kinds of training, obedience, for example. You can do nose games in the house. You can do long stays on the down. You can do "puppy pushups"
You can get out the clicker and teach some basic sits and stays and heeling. At the same time you have the clicker out, it is also a great time to take PHOTOGRAPHS of your dog. Dress him up in different costumes, for the fun of it, and snap some shots. The dog will love it and he can practice those sits and stays with some variations. Here's a great example of a photo of a newfy in a Santa Hat...later this was made into a great design for Christmas cards and even teeshirts.
Whatever you do, don't forget that training your dog should be a part of your every day life, and even more so when it's winter, you're housebound, and your dog is BORED.

How to make an air pump for on land HRD training
This method trains a water dog to work first on the land
You will need: an aquarium pump or an air tank. I prefer the aquarium pump: it is much easier to attach the hoses and the "dead scent" containers! you will also need two long aquarium tubes or hoses, the small kind, less than 1/4 inch in diameter....you know, the clear aquarium tube thingies.You will need two large pill bottles with good tight fitting lids. You wil also need a "dremel" power tool or small craft type of drill.
And you will need a "gang valve" for your aquarium pump, that you can attach two hoses to.
All you do is drill two holes, (SMALL) on each side of each pill bottle, about half way up the bottle. Gradually work the holes a bit large until an aquarium tube can be squeezed into each opening. Attach one end (side) of the pill bottle with a short 4 inch tube to one of the nozzles on your gang valve. Do the same with the other pill bottle. Now..on the OTHER hole on the opposite side of each bottle, stick a longer aquarium tube in, at least 10 feet long. (you want to be able to use this end at either end of a boat....)
Inside the pill bottles put your preferred "dead stuff" for scent. Cap your lids back on, tight. Attach the gang valve with a couple more short pieces of aquarium hose, to the pump.
A gang valve has TWO little knobs for turning each hose on or off, so you can switch back and forth between the hose ends. Plug in your pump and turn on a nozzle..you will feel a slight breath of air coming out of the end of the tube. You are now ready to put this contraption into a boat which is sitting in your back yard, or on your porch or deck...anywhere your dog will have top put the head over the side as if he were on a boat...and presto, you have a method to encourage and train for a cadaver alert from a boat!
I'm sorry but my computer camera isn't working right now. Hopefully you can figure this out without seeing a photo. as soon as I can get a photo I will put it up.
