Koda has been an ‘interesting’ dog to teach Trail Hunt International
He is very visual and prefers to see where the pod is rather than use his nose. 👃
We have been hiding the pod so he can’t see it. This worked up to a point but as he worked through the stages gaining more distance he was just searching for the odour cloud around the pod rather than following the trail.
So today we thought we would make it so that he couldn’t find the cloud around the pod without following the trail. 🥳 he got it!!!!!!!
Look at this lovely video of him really concentrating and following the odour. Clever boy Koda 👏

Trail hunt international
Koda and Kay-Dash McCoy are being my case studies to help me get my Trail Hunt International qualification.
Koda is a very visual dog so we have had to take away all the visual markers of where the odour is and find long grass to hide it in. 👀
Koda really got it today. Just look at the turn where he realises what to do and where the odour is 👏 👃
New scent
Toffees first time with a new scent tonight. She didn’t take long to get the hang of it clever girl.

It was Berri’s Birthday today so it was cakes all round at Agility ♥️
I hate grass seeds!!!!! Poor Toffee looks like Hilda Ogden 🤭
These tiny seeds can easily lodge in a dog’s paws, ears, nose, or eyes, causing pain and infection. 🌾🐾 Once embedded, seeds can migrate through the body, leading to serious complications like abscesses or internal damage. Symptoms to watch for include excessive licking, head shaking, sneezing, or swelling. 🚨 Ignoring these signs can result in severe health issues, requiring veterinary intervention. Regular grooming and careful inspection after walks in grassy areas are essential to keep your furry friend safe and healthy. 🐕❤️ #ihategrassseeds
