Just back and what a day we had! Gorgeous sunny day - lovely farm property.


There were 11 teams participating in the workshop and first was the theory/lecture part then the fun part. You start off by building a scent box - about 3feet square and then you strew it with good treats. You bring your dog over then put on the harness then quietly sit your dog and give the scent command - and your dog goes into the box and gets his treat rewards. The object here is to familiarize and to begin to imprint your scent = rewards.
Then Dara got asked to try to demonstrate the next step which is to follow a short treat laden trail that you have walked all over and dropped the treats. She did really really well in the scent box! Not so much with the scent trail.


Razzle did really good too. All the dogs were well behaved and we had a great picnic lunch.
