There was an NACSW NW1 & NW2 Odessa, FL this past weekend. It was the first trial of the season in Florida and even though I wasn't there the Search Tall spirit was strong with the few teams that participated.

Maggie & Nellie and Jane & Gunner were two of only six teams to pass the NW1 and did it with style! Team Nellie went High in Trial and Team Gunner took home Third Overall. Swagger is very proud to call these two some of his best buddies!

Honorable mention to Rosie & Heidi for passing 4/5 of the NW2 searches. Missing just one hide in a strong three hide converging odor problem in a very windy exterior search. Congratulations on the 3rd place container search!

So proud of all of you and congratulations!

Two weekends ago I had my last AKC Scent Work judging assignment of the year at Jupiter-Tequesta Dog Club in Jupiter, FL. It was the clubs first SW trial so just one trial each day Novice - Excellent with Exterior, Interior and Container elements.

I was so happy to see more than half of the trial entries were in Novice! Congratulations to all the teams who stepped up to the start line with their dogs, especially to those first timers.

Lots of qualifiers and placements and here are some trial swag pictures: Storey, Aries & Kai, Marni, Phoenix & Bodhi, Terri & Willow and Cindy & Ravyn. Special congratulations to Kaaren & Connor for earning Novice High in Trial both days!

Huge thank you to all the search teams, dog in white teams and volunteers for sharing their Sunday morning with me to help with completing some of the Mock Trial requirements for my CO training.

The morning started off with Team Gunner working as Dog in White for NW1 Containers and Exteriors. Searches were then run by Team Willow, Team Bodhi, Team Nellie, Team Giggles, Team Kepler and Team Hottie .

NW2 searches were proofed by Dog in White, Team Sega, and then run by Team Phoenix, Team Kylee, Team Party, Team Aires, Team Gunner and Team Heidi.

Amber, Marjorie and Amy volunteered to help things running smoothly and fun for all the working teams. Huge thank you for giving up your morning so others could play with their dogs. I really appreciate you guys so I could keep my focus on all the CO things!

There are still vehicle and interior searches needed to complete my Mock Trial requirements so stay tuned for more searching opportunities.

Thanks again everyone, I couldn't have done this without you!

I mentioned before that I was going to be running some Mock Trial NW1 and NW2 searches to support my NACSW Certifying Official requirements. Since it's summer still and hotter than ever I have decided to parse out a few elements at a time to limit the amount time working in the heat.

A day has been selected, the first elements chosen and now I'm looking for a few good dogs! This will be Mock Trial style searching meaning competition quality searches that are run blind with known number of hides(NW1 & NW2). There will be no direction or coaching but I will have small score sheets and will try to scribble comments in between runs.

So I am looking for a few good dogs to help me on part one of the Mock Trial portion of my CO Quest. In addition to search dogs I also need a Dog in White for each search, preferably at the levels being set. Please take note that if you participate your runs will be recorded and shared with the CO training review team but not publicly shared. You may also self record your own runs with a personal recording device like a GoPro or smartphone.

September 1st is the date, $15/dog!

Please FB message Search Tall if you are interested.

Nosework can be just as fun with your older dogs!

Last chance to get tickets to Senior Sniffers webinar that is about to start. Can't stay up to watch live? All good, there will be a recording emailed shortly after but you need to purchase before it's over.

Nosework has always been known as the perfect sport for senior dogs. Find out how to bring the best out of your senior k9 partner.
