Objective - Lets brainstorm the parts and pieces that may be "communication" in scent detection and the semantics - words and concepts to describe those training and trialing ideas for HANDLER communication.

In our Train to Trail and Trial to Train Series we are exploring COMMUNICATION. In EPISODE we covered DOG COMMUNICATION and the broad view of the 1001 ways communication is present in our scent detection search to now in our next episode in Communication to talk about HANDLER communication.

First lets look at the definition: What is communication in simple words? Communication is a process that involves sending and receiving messages through the verbal and non-verbal methods. Communication is a two-way means of communicating information in the form of thoughts, opinions, and ideas between two or more individuals with the purpose of building an understanding. What words might describe COMMUNICATION ?

Lets explore training concepts that "involve" include or depend on "communication AND break down the "areas" for more in depth focused discussion of those perceived as more important areas for our next few episodes and maybe even identify our favorite or most compelling areas of need in training our scent detection dogs.
