Well, when the puppy is 10 weeks, I can show you little videos, puppies of 10 weeks that is doing the job of another dog of one year, one and a half year old. And they have a perfect indication. And they thought, of course, they're not ready to work in reality.

Exactly. They show they understand what they should do. And they never had to search for the reward because the reward, we give the food and we drop the food. And it's incredible, the results that we get with that. So that's changed a lot. But we see, if I check here in Europe, I don't speak in other countries. Norway, they are very high level already.

convention in geneva where also stuart hilliard wrote quite a chapter about dog training right so they are really really strong in detection just like npa in bosnia but they are coming norway it's all the same thing and uh but for the rest in europe i see a lot they still train like it was done in the 80s and the 90s and that's difficult that's difficult

But there are no secrets. There are no secrets. If we start, we start with an order. Normally, we start with a neutral order. So with a neutral order there, I mean we make like a kind of oil by mixing some different things together that we know if he finds this, this is something that you'll never find in real life. But by using a neutral oil,

But by using a neutral oil,

even if something goes wrong the dog will never associate it with the order that he has to find later in his career if if you start okay you say we need a drug detection dog we start to search on heroin or we start to search on tnt and something goes wrong in the training you have never to be afraid that later in his career when he finds this tnt or this uh

heroin or cocaine, he will never think about, hey, I was punished.

heroin or cocaine, he will never think about, hey, I was punished.

But I say punished, not even punished, because something can go wrong that when he's searching, something is falling on him.

Exactly, exactly. So, and then, uh, when we see, he starts to recognize the older, we, we make it immediately. Every time, every three times after three, two, three rewards, we make it more difficult to make it more difficult to make it more difficult. And that's the thing that I see in the training that people don't do enough. We explained something. We say, hey, you should train that.

And we say, for example, you know, we train the dog, for example, to go on the spot on the ground, on a little wooden plunge.
