The SCENTsational K9 has been very busy with classes in Acton Maine, York Maine, Rollinsford NH and Wolfeboro MH.
We have several brags from students and myself. Last week we trialed in Kingston NH. Nose Work 1 was Saturday. Michele and Luke and Hugh and myself earned our NW1 titles, Luke also placed second in containers. Hugh was 5th overall with 2 Pronounced in interior and exterior.
Sunday Jeff and Nello trialed in NW2. They missed their title by one hide in interior.
Today I am in Poland Spring Maine with Emily. She found all the hides BUT I called Alert a few seconds too soon on the wrong container. Emily was pulled from all sports last year due to medical reasons. She got to play today after very limited reintroduction to odor. She made me so proud!
Meanwhile, Michelle and Luke and Jeff with Nello were competing in Ashby Mass at the Nose work 2 trial. Still waiting for updates from Michele and Jeff.

I love watching the dogs learn this great sport.
