Train Your Dog To Find Your Cell Phone

The article selection skill is necessary to recognize the subject based on the target scent. Selecting articles helps to develop sensitivity of the dog's sense of smell. It facilitates the improvement of the dog's scent discrimination skill and is the foundation for teaching dogs to select a subject by and object's odor. Conditioned stimuli - basic: the "Smell" command and hand signal in the direction of the objects; auxiliary command: "Aport", "Good Girl", "Aus", "No" (with calm intonation), etc. Unconditioned stimuli - retrieval of the object, treat, petting. The skill is developed based on the olfactory-search and food behavioral reactions and the retrieving skill. The dog is ready to select objects only if it smells an object offered to it with interest, actively search for it among a large number of similar unscented objects using its sense of smell and bring the item to the trainer and sit in front of him. For this purpose the following preparatory exercises are used: teaching the K9 to calmly sniff an object on the ”Smell” command; teaching the K9 to retrieve unfamiliar objects that vary in shape, size, and material. Rules for preparing the site for object selection are; lessons on object selection are conducted in surroundings familiar to the dog with least possible number of distracting stimuli (especially odors) at a specially prepared site. In this way, the dog will become accustomed to the environment, all the odors, i.e. the orienting reflex in response to the new situation will weaken, which will help the conditioned reflex to form rapidly. Likewise, just the opposite will occur if each lesson is conducted in different surroundings. Unfamiliar odors and the new environment will distract the dog. This will slow the development of the conditioned reflex of object selection.
