It’s National Day! We held a Nose Work seminar and it went very well.

When we bought our house a few years ago, one of the huge pluses for me was a building that could act as my training facility. I call it the Doggie Dojo. 😆 it’s definitely beneficial during the North Carolina summers.

Nose work fun with Fala. A few trails coming up and she’s ready.

Early morning puppy track with Trouble. Mudi catch on to everything so quickly. Amazing little dogs.

I currently have 2 female Mudi pups with me that I’m training. They are a relatively new breed to the USA and were accepted by AKC last year. I like to refer to them as a Malinois crossed with a cat.

This pup is doing so well. He has wonderful focus and is so willing.

Last week when the weather finally turned cool, I took the dogs for a long walk on the property. A lot of training opportunities when we do this. And good exercise for all of us 😆

Ever noticed those slits at the sides of a dog’s nose? Why do dogs have them?

Once again, nature proves her elegance in the design of our dogs. When we humans inhale and exhale, air comes in the same way it goes out. Any smells that come in through our mouths are forced out as we exhale.

When a dog exhales through his nose, however, the exhaled air is released through those slits and off to the side so that nice, smelly air going into the dog’s nostrils doesn’t get diluted with the outgoing air. Put another way, the slits allow the dog to avoid smelling what he just exhaled.

The slits help the dog hold scent particles in the nostrils even as exhaled air passing out the slits creates a swirling air turbulence allowing interesting odors to be inhaled directly into the centre of each nostril. Since dogs breathe faster when trying to sniff a certain smell, they widen their nostrils to pull in more air which makes it possible for a dog searching for smells to have a steady stream of air coming in for up to 40 seconds, maybe even longer.

The slits also allow dogs to wiggle each nostril independently which gives them the ability to know which nostril a smell entered. This is how a dog can pinpoint where a smell is coming from, and why a dog searching for smells on the ground will weave back and forth as he follows a trail.

We all know the superb smelling abilities of dogs, but let’s use an analogy between scent and sight to really put it into perspective: What we as humans can see at a third of a mile, our dog can see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well.

Sometimes being a dog owner can be stressful. Having a multi dog household is definitely not for everyone.

I’ve gone back to the basics. Have fun with your dogs…train the dog in front of you. I’m branching out into different disciplines and it’s really boosting my training focus.
