K-9 BSD

The K-9 Behavioral Shaping Device (BSD) is used in training to allow split-second timing of reinforcement, leading to unmatched drive and focus with a remote active reward. It reduces unwanted handler cues and the need for assistants, and can deliver a variety of rewards. The device enables reinforcement of behaviors even when the animal and handler are separated by large distances.

The BSD-1 is used for training in areas such as schutzhund, agility, tracking, and alert behaviors. The BSD-2 is specifically designed for odor detection dogs, offering adjustable delivery for close-in alerts and a minimal odor footprint to optimize learning.
