Advancements in The Randy Hare Method of Detection Training
The videos that started it all! Having done seminars for the FBI, DEA, Special Forces as well police departments domestic and abroad, Randy Hare’s revolutionary methods for training substance (drug, explosives, accelerants, biologicals) detector dogs is thought provoking and cutting-edge. It begins with a critical analysis and review of conventional detector dog training methods, and then presents the core ideas of the Hare Method:
- Part One: A critical look at canine substance detection training methods.
- A: The problem of extraneous cues.
- B: The problem of the handler as “teacher”.
- C: The problem of “separateness” of target and reward.
- D: The “band-aid”- handler skill.
- Part Two: The cardinal features of The Hare Method
- A: The dog educates himself.
- B: The handler is not the teacher.
- C: The dog learns what not to pay attention to.
- D: The target and reward are not the same.
