In this episode of HFA Paul Bunker joins us to discuss imprinting your detection K9 on odor. Paul has been working with detection K9s for over 40 years in various aspects of detection. Starting with his 2 decades of experience handling detection K9s during his time in the U.K. military, followed by nearly 20 years of working with the U.K. and U.S. military training and deploying explosive detection K9s. Most recently Paul formed Chiron K9 based in San Antonio, TX to focus on research and supporting conservation and environmental detection programs with his K9s.

During this episode we discuss Paul's workbook titled: Imprint your Detection Dog in 15 Days. In the workbook Paul provides a step-by-step guide of how to imprint your detection dog on odor. We use this episode to delve into Paul's imprinting methods that he's utilized to imprint dogs of dozen's of breeds on hundreds of various odors. This episode discusses foundational steps that are useful for any K9 handler, and takes a deep dive into the odor imprinting process.
