A frosty Boxing Day walk for me and Ettie. No walk for Ella as she’s ruptured her cruciate 🤦🏼‍♀️ But hopefully she’ll be back walking with us by Spring.

The best thing about the festive season is being able to have more adventures with this wee cracker

If you’ve been wondering why I’ve gone a bit quiet lately, this is why . . .

Behind the scenes I’ve been deep in prep mode, finalising the experiments, lab book, results logs and guidance for the January Scent Lab cohorts. The unglamorous kind of work that involves far too many tabs open and an alarming amount of coffee!

Everything is now locked in, tested and ready to go so that when we start on 8 January you can focus on observing, experimenting and learning rather than wondering what you’re meant to be doing next.

You can still join now and get set up in advance. No rushing, no scrambling, just turning up ready to make discoveries with your dog.

On the surface this might not appear brave. But take it from me, moving all the way to the other side of the search area is a very bold move for this sweet beginner scentworker. And I couldn’t have planned the outcome better if I’d tried - perfect!

Some dogs need less help than others 🤣

A chair is never just a chair in scentwork. Here we can gauge how brave the dog is by how he reacts to the chairs. Some dogs are very tentative and would never go behind them and would certainly never jump on them, esp if they moved 😳

This is important information when designing future searches. This allows me to set out safe searches where the dog can concentrate on finding the target scent, rather than being worried about scary things that might be in the search area.

In this case Ollie isn’t phased by them at all. And he gets the ultimate reward for his bravery by finding his target on a chair 🎉
