Sneak Peek: Scent Skills. Yesterday the 6:30 pm class worked on finding hides over their head while the 7:45 pm class was surprised with a blank room to clear. Both groups also tried out the SDDA game speed - 16-20 containers, 2-4 hides, 2-4 distractors, 1 minute to decide if you've found all the hides (and none of the distractors).

Sneak Peek: Scent Skills! My favourite part of scent detection is watching the dogs work the scent back to its source. So here are some pics of one doing exactly that. You'll notice she checks around the corner, she had previously spent some time on the floor around the corner checking things out, so likely the scent wrapped around the doorway and fell in the entrance area. Can you tell where it was hidden?
