'Highs & Lows' - Some breeds search at ground level as with this Cocker Spaniel. Cocker Spaniels are bred to search and flush out game in hedges rather than looking upwards for falling shot birds as with Labradors. To encourage the dog to search higher placed hides, place the scented pot in places where the dog has to stand on it's back legs to find and reach the hidden scented pot.
