Nosework Dogs

Hi I specialise in training dogs to do Scentwork. I have 30 years of experience working and training both sporting and operational scent dogs.
(2)

I was a qualified Police Dog Trainer. I worked both General Purpose and People screening dogs.

17/11/2024

It was clients only trials today at Nosework dogs. We had 3 groups Triers, Aspirers & Flyers. 18 dogs took part across the 3 groups.

I will put the trier and Aspirer searches in the comments.

Flyers
7 dogs in this group. I saw some beautiful searching from the dogs and on the hoof planning from the handlers.
The results were
1st Place Bev & Delilah 99.55
2nd Place Ann & Kenzie 97
3rd Place Rosie & Slinkydog 79.5
4th Place 78.5 Peter & Minnie
Bev & D did one of the most faultless and beautiful searches I have watched in a long time. They called the area clear correctly with just 15 seconds to go.
Ann & Kenzie were hot on their heels with just a few marks lost on indication and area coverage and a cheeky false alert.
Both Rosie & Slinkydog and Pete and Minnie were in close contention but missed the converging hides.
All the other teams covered the area and had a go at calling it clear which was great. As mentioned in the video it was so much fun watching dear old Prue power the area, lovely that such an old Doris can still have a good sniffing workout.

Aspirers
6 teams took part in this and the standard was very high. All but one team called it clear correctly and no teams went back over areas unnecessarily.
The results were
1st Place Marney & Chutney 89.5
2nd Place Kate & Pip 89.3
3rd Place Bev & Morty 89
4th Place Judith & Eddie 88.8
Not placed but worthy of a mention Rosemary & Dotty 87.75
This was Marney & Chutneys 1st go at Aspirers and the little girl came out and searched beautifully with perfect to die for indications. The only blip a short snack stop on the way round. Kate and Pip were so close, a quick wee and a single indication that scored a 9.5, whereas the others were wonderful 10's. There wasn't much between the other teams.

Triers
5 in this group and a range of experience. Every handler had a go at calling it clear. There was one hide on the gate that only Tide got so only Rosie called it clear correctly.
The results were
1st Place Rosie & Tide 79.8
2nd Place Fiona & Theo 58
3rd Place Trish & Havok 57.5
4th Place Ann & Midge 57

Rosie & Tide produced a lovely search with a great balance between independent searching and clever, thoughtful tasking. Fiona & Theo also produced a well balanced search with Fiona stopping Theo from getting too excited. Trish & Havoc did one if the best searches I have seen them do and the improvement for this team was huge. Ann & Midge are a new team, Ann has lots of experience with Kenzie but Midge is very different. They both did a great job with a lovely relationship starting to form. Marney and Mistard came and had fun but the area was a bit tricky physically for Mustard.

Jerry started searching vehicles today. Still working on indication but nice to also see the searching growing.

Puppy is doing really well with his indication training. I had put the odour in a shell that wasn't giving out much odour here. An error on my part but nice to see after searching for much longer than he has been used to he was still able to offer the indication. He had been struggling a bit as we go lower to sit rather than down but we are both really enjoying the process.
