A big thank you to Elaine Tomkins and Bianca Schofield who have done a brilliant job for us today while I’m recovering.

From Bianca Schofield :
Today Selby sniffers ran a level one Alert trial judges by Elaine Tomkins at Hambleton Village Hall. This search was a scenario based search, looking for gun oil. The first place winner by 2 points was Bianca Schofield with Fire, also gaining a clean sweep. Second place was Fiona Rayner with Otis, also gaining a clean sweep and the third place winner was Sara Bratonozic with Abbie. This team also had a clean sweep.

Then in the afternoon there was the very first Level 2 proactive trial judge by Bianca Schofield. The two elements were building and area search. The dogs were searching for both gun oil and clove odour. The winner of this trail was Janet Nero with Darcy, who also had a clean sweep. Second place (and there was only 1 point in it) was Elaine Tomkins and Florence. Again gaining a clean sweep.

We had a number of people running dogs not for completion, these dogs performed really well.

Well done everyone. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Today was the Sniffers Get Together. No formal training as such, just a group of Friends doing what we love…having a good natter, helping each other train our dogs while drinking tea and coffee and enjoying finger food.

Have you got the Scentwork bug? Then this is for you. It’s a 12 class course and we delve into the world of scentwork a little bit deeper with more about odour and odour molecules, odour movement, planning your training better, why we do what we do. You will get the chance to shadow me as we teach those with less experience and discuss plans on how to go forward. After 12 classes you can either leave it there or earn a Selby Sniffers Elite Handler Pin that you can wear with pride by passing our Elite written exam. It’s great fun.
DOES MY DOG NEED TO BE GOOD??
NO, this is about you and your learning. You will learn as a group and by the dogs in the group and others. The only thing your dog needs is Scent ID and basic search.
