A working dog’s life is full of purpose. Rio, Spot On K9 Detection’s resident bed bug inspector is no different and has an exceptionally high drive combined with a higher-than-normal anxiety level which makes the perfect temperament for a working canine.
Her natural drive gives Rio the determination to find bed bugs (along with that super sensitive nose!) and anxiety keeps her sharp and attentive.
Honestly, her combination makes for an amazing scent detection working dog.
Getting prepared
When Marcos gets prepared for an inspection; be it commercial or residential, Rio gets so excited, that she can hardly contain herself. Our K9 bed bug detecting duo stick to the same routine each time, this way Rio knows it is time to go and sniff out some bed bugs. Putting on her working vest is the last step to make sure Rio knows her workday is about to begin.
Like any working dog, it is important to let them work uninterrupted. She needs to focus all her energy and her super sensitive nose to detect bed bugs.
Setting about her task
Rio can almost pinpoint their exact location. She can find one bed bug before it turns into hundreds. Once she does, Marcos confirms their presence and Rio gets her reward! Her ball is The. Best. Reward. Ever!
It is important to take many breaks during a long day of canine bed bug inspection. This keeps Rio fresh and motivated to go on to her next job.
Recognition, reward and relaxation
Rio winds down from day of work at home, relaxing in the sun and taking long walks with her family. She is a caring and sweet girl and is always ready when a call comes in for K9 bed bug detection. She is your best defence against bed bugs.
