Episode 79, In this podcast I get to speak with a Springer and Working Cocker Spaniel breeder Josh Riddle of Rockey's Kennel. Josh and his father have been breeders of Field Champion Springer and Working Cocker Spaniels.  Over the past 2 years I have been going to Josh and his father to select, raise and train many of the Spaniels we own and have trained and sold as Detection Dogs.  The Spaniel breed has been a popular choice as a detection dog in the UK and Europe, now they are starting to gain popularity here in the USA.  Like in the past when the detection industry changes breeds it is important to handlers and trainers to know the breed they work with so that we can maximize the communication and working relationship between this breed and the handlers. We discuss how this breed operates and what makes them unique and some take aways if you are considering this breed in the future.

Bob Eden is a 28 year retired police veteran with over 40 years of dog training experience in law enforcement, military and personal protection applications. In his final years of law enforcement he was a detective with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit investigating organized crime. Early in his career he developed the Delta Police K9 Unit and served as the lead police dog trainer for the Department for 16 years. He is the author of two books, "Dog Training For Law Enforcement" , "K9 Officers Manual", and "K9 Supervisors Manual, Dynamics in Developing and Managing Police K9 Units" currently scheduled for release in June of 2021. In 1988 Bob was appointed to the B.C. Police Commission's committee to create minimum police dog training standards for law enforcement agencies in the province of British Columbia. In 1991 he created and developed the International Police K9 Conference in an attempt to bring a professional training seminar to officers which was not politically oriented or specific to any particular style of training. The intent was to support all officers in methods which meet their specific needs. In 2003 Bob was contracted by the Phoenix Police Department, Phoenix, Arizona to re-develop their police K9 unit from the ground up, introducing new training and deployment ideas. In 2005 he was further contracted by the US Government to assist in a joint Canadian/American venture to train officers and dogs in Rio De Janeiro in preparation for the 2007 Pan American Games. Bob has also authored articles and columns in such periodicals as "Police Magazine", ” Police K9 Magazine”, “K9 Cop Magazine”, "Law and Order", "Police and Security News", "Finland's Rottweiler Magazine", "The Police K9 Recruiter" and "Offlead Magazine" from Australia.

Episode 76 with Dr. Jennifer Cattet of Medical Mutts Jennifer Cattet Ph.D. has been training dogs professionally for over 35 years. Her work with service dogs started in a prison program where she was the instructor to the inmates/trainers.

Her approach to dog training is systematic and practical. She believes that when it comes to service dog training, efficiency and standards are essential.

The dogs are never forced but are instead rewarded when they willingly offer the desired behaviors. Her latest book is called: “Selecting and Training Your Service Dog: How to succeed in public access work.” Born in the US, but having grown up in France where she spent 30+ years of her life, Jennifer is perfectly bilingual and can teach in both English and French.
