Dasher did his first scent work trial this weekend at a CPE venue at the Quad City Dog Center. He qualified in 5/5 which earned him his novice title and got some nice placements, too. Most importantly he didn’t lose his mind around the other dogs. A few barks here and there but quiet in his crate. Was very proud of him. Thanks to all the volunteers, judges Joanne Soyke and Melanie Herbst, and Margaret Legg and Carolyn Venaglia for making the trial happen. And thanks to Joanne for also helping me manage his yelling at other dogs!

On Sunday we were back in Iowa and went to Davenport for a CPE trial. That day she got lots of cheese, earning more points toward her C-SNITE title and also toward her Level 3 element title. I also picked up the Level CH element title she earned back in July but didn’t realize then she had reached that milestone until I saw the results later.

Such a fun dog to search with, pass or fail. Love playing nosework with my little fuzzy girl! In the parlance of the dog-driven search, Miss Flicker has a very healthy Bank of Joy and Enthusiasm no matter what happens, and who could ask for more!

Thanks again to both the SPDTC and QCDC folks (volunteers, judges and CO!) for two well-run and fun trials!

Thank you Think Pawsitive Sniffers for coming. Good to see you. QCDC.
