Once these objectives are achieved, then the student detector dog will have achieved the special attributes of the Hare-trained detector dog: The dog will possess a crystal-clear understanding of his task, and he will display the kind of obedience to odor that makes it virtually impossible to disturb or distract him during search or indication.  He will also exhibit an extraordinary degree of independence and self-belief while searching. Finally, the dog will display pronounced and obvious changes of behavior when he encounters target odor, accompanied by prolonged and intensive efforts to pinpoint the odor source prior to making a final indication.

“We’re proud to offer these benchmark productions to our worldwide customer base,” states Douglas Calhoun, the Producer, Director with over 20 industry awards to his credit.  “Randy Hare’s techniques are truly innovative and his dogs are both incredibly accurate and tremendously reliable.  We’re very proud that Detection 2 with Randy Hare has been recognized for TWO Silver Telly Awards.  Randy is very deserving of the credit he’s received, we hold him in the highest regard.”
