Phoebe has been working on her indication both statically and dynamically and we'll be adding in the search very soon.

In Archies 121 last night we worked on the transition from a static indication exercise to a simple search. Introducing the odour (Kong) to the search like this will help, him to understand that we still want that freeze behaviour even during a search.

Scentwall Training
"I really want to search your wall"
"Scentwall envy..."
"I need to buy some bricks"
Just a few of the comments I've had when people have seen my wall, but what's the point of it? Am I trying to train the dogs to search every inch of every search area they come across?
NO.
The scent wall is a training tool that doesn't represent real world searching at all but, there are two things that I do try to achieve when the dogs work the wall, accuracy and stamina.
First, the structure of the bricks allows us to encourage and reward accurate odour location and a rosette worthy sports indication.
Second, it invites that high rate of sniffing that we love to see and hear and, like any other repetitive exercise I believe this builds the associated muscles increasing stamina. (Just my opinion supported by nothing more than my own experience and observation).
Oh, and social media seems to love a scent wall, so there is that 😉
