Small pieces of red kong

"Red kong search" is a term used in dog training and competitions Preparation and marking work: Before the actual search begins, preparations are made. This may involve a person laying out a piece of red kong (a type of toy for dogs). Initial instructions: Before the dog is released to search, the handler is usually given instructions about the planned search area, any markers or objects to look for, and any special rules for the search. Search exercise: When the dog is released, it begins to search the designated area. It is trained to use its sense of smell to detect objects or scents to which it is trained to react. Indication of found objects: When the dog finds an object or a marker, usually a red kong, it usually indicates this in different ways depending on training and competition rules. This can be by sitting next to the object, marking it with a paw or nose, or by communicating in other ways with the handler. Reward and feedback: When the dog has marked an object or area, it usually receives a reward from the handler, such as a treat or praise. This strengthens the link between the dog finding objects and positive experiences. Completion of the search: When the search is completed, there may be an evaluation of the dog's performance, and possibly feedback given to improve future searches. Red kong search is a training technique and competition element that may vary slightly depending on the specific dog sport or training method used.
