Especially if you lose stuff like I do.
Let’s be honest—if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like to admit tearing the house apart looking for your keys, your phone, your wallet, your watch… maybe even your boots. Again.
Ask your dog to "Find my keys"
Veterans deal with a lot—memory gaps, fatigue, stress, distraction, hypervigilance. It’s not about being lazy. It’s about how your brain works after trauma. Sometimes the fog is thick, and simple things fall through the cracks.
Now imagine this:
Instead of flipping furniture, getting pissed off, and running late—
You look at your dog and say, “Find my keys.”
And they do.

Here’s why this is possible:
Dogs can be trained to find and indicate on objects with your scent., including anything you’ve touched—keys, wallet, phone, basically anything that carries your unique odor. You don’t need to do complex detection training. You just need to pair scent with a solid indication behavior.
Dog training to find your keys with simple steps
Teach them to sniff, search, and sit when they find the item. That’s it.
It’s practical, it’s empowering, and it helps cut stress before it starts.
For me, this skill isn’t just a party trick. It’s become one of the most useful tools my dog has. This is how you dog train to find your keys and other objects.
Because I lose things all the time—and now I don’t have to do it alone.
