In this episode, Geryah Dingle discusses the AKC Virtual Home Manners Title, and how you and your dog can earn a title from the comfort of your own home with a little time and $25. With all the disruptions that came with 2020, the dog training industry was no exception. Many families welcomed a new pet in their homes during the pandemic, and AKC designed the VHM title so that handlers could teach their dogs manners while maintaining social distancing; many of the behaviors are very similar to the ones exhibited in the Canine Good Citizen test which requires in-person testing.
//TIMESTAMPS//
[01:25] So what is the AKC VHM title?
[01:50] So there are two levels: the puppy and the adult division.
[03:11] So number one, the owner pets and then grooms the dog.
[03:45] Number two, you want to be able to sit on command with no lure.
[04:00] The third command is down. You want to be able to put your dog in the down position on command and with no lure.
[04:10] Number four is you want your dog to be able to show that he can come when called indoors from about either 20 feet or from a completely separate room.
[04:50] Number five is manners related to food. You can choose two different options, basically you as the owner, having a snack, and basically, your dog's not harassing you trying to get food from you.
[06:05] Number six is your dog's behavior as it relates to the doorbell, knocking or greeting a real or imaginary guest.
[06:30] The next behavior, number seven, is teaching your dog to go to their place or their crate, and then they have to stay there for one minute.
[08:13] Number eight is about demonstrating a relationship. So you have four options for this one.
[08:45] Number nine is you and your dog being out for a walk. Well, you don't have options per se, but you have to do both of these behaviors. So you need to be able to place a leash on your dog, and they need to act calmly before exiting the door.
[10:15] Next is number 10, exercising outside with a family member or an owner. And then you get to choose here. So you can choose a simple game of fetch or catching a disc or a toy.
[12:35] So who's the best fit for this title? Well, AKC markets the VHM as a warm start to future competition. So in one of their initial press releases, the AKC described the Virtual Home Manners program as a perfect lead-in to AKC STAR Puppy and its popular Canine Good Citizen programs, which require in-person testing.
AND MUCH MORE!

No one wants to be the handler with a dog that showed up to game day ill-prepared. In this episode, I explain how you can set up an AKC Scent Work Novice practice area to prepare you for your next trial better. When getting started with scent work trials, aka “competitions,” one must first understand that there are two scent work trial divisions: 1) the odor search division where the dog searches for odor of essential oil and (2) the handler discrimination division. These are go/no-go events. So, you either qual or you don’t. You’re looking to the dog to communicate to the handler that the scent has been found. This indication is referred to as “a change in behavior” (i.e., pawing, lie down, nose to target, something like that). You can pretty much train for this anywhere, and I explain to you referencing some equipment lying around your house.

Geryah discusses how your dog’s behavior is often a reflection of you. Yes, that’s right! You get out what you put in. Whether your dog is energetic or chill, a worker-bee or a couch potato, a loudmouth or quiet pooch, a worrywart or an easy-breezy, a cuddly doggy or a distant friend, a buddy buddy or an aggressive mind - your dog’s behavior is often a reflection of you and a few other factors too. During the talk, Geryah highlights a University in Budapest’s study that asserts, “a dog’s personality is not fully set in his genes but is also affected and shaped by his life history, living conditions, his owner’s nature and characteristics, and the social and educational interactions he has with his owner.” People can generally summarize a dog’s personality traits in a few categories that measure calm, trainability, sociability, and boldness.

Geryah interviews Teresa Hatcher of systematictraining4dogs.com about K9 Scent Detection Work as a performance sport and how her “NoseWork in a Box kits” aid pet parents who are wanting to train their dogs at home and on-the-go. Teresa is a professional dog trainer offering private lessons in agility, tricks, rally, obedience, behavior modification and scent work. She grew up training neighborhood dogs and horses for a few years and then spent 20 years working with a huge variety of exotic animals in the zoos, before returning to her first love- working with dogs. After learning about nose work, she tried to find a complete kit to train her dog, but was only able to find small travel kits... thus was the inspiration for "Nosework in a Box: Everything you need to train your dog from novice to advanced scent work!"
