The K9-Pathfinders are a group of several dog handlers and their dogs, who are all trained with the same unique method. Only teams having passed our tests are allowed to attend the K9-Pathfinder group.

HOW WE OPERATE ...
  1. The dogs learn from the beginning to reach their success over drive – independently from the dog handler.
  2. The passive indication of explosives is trained in detail and therefore very reliable.
  3. The dogs learn over positive motivation (play drive).
  4. Off the leash training is used excessively in training – therefore the dogs learn that success is reached without support from the handler.
  5. I use real explosives for training – NO substitutes! (Erlaubnis §7)
  6. I don’t train with utopian small amounts like 1-2g of explosives. Dogs which are trained like that tend to show increased false indications (i.e. fresh silicone, cable shafts, contamination).
  7. False indications mean false alarms which could lead to an evacuation of an area. These would result in to unnecessary costs for my clients.

... AND WHAT WE OFFER

  1. Dogs who work independently without greater lead of the handler.
  2. Honest and reliable results, because with our method we cannot influence the dogs search and indication of explosives – true results!
  3. With our method the dogs indicate explosives by pure motivation. The results are more unfailing and steadfast.
  4. The dogs search voluntarily without compulsion to aim their goal (toy) at the end. Only the strong desire for the reward drives them.
