i'm pet sitting teddy this weekend, and he *loves* scent work! this is something anybody can do with their dog (or cat!). i start with really simple hides, out in the open on the floor, but teddy's owners have been playing this game with him for awhile.

Do mantrailing with your dog, they said.
It will be fun, they said.
(These are not from a dog but from trees, nor are they my only battle scars from today. Shit, this stuff is intense!)

lunchtime training report.

#worldDogStar is getting even better at pushing the #treibball. she even did it a few times with no treats under the ball!

#echoOfBrookside is up to four containers in #scentWork. i need to read up on what our homework is for this week.

this evening i'll record some things to share, because seeing is believing. 🤩

#dogTraining #dogSports

#echoOfBrookside has been learning #scentWork over the past week or two. she's doing really well, and this is the first time i've taught this particular skillset, so i'm learning a lot, too!

the white colander is the "hot" container in this exercise, since it has birch essential oil taped to the bottom of it in a small plastic box.

#rescueDog #borderCollie #dogTraining #dogSports

ordered a #scentWork kit for the dogs, since it's another low-impact sport i can get #echoOfBrookside and #lokiOfPineview involved in.

echo's got a bum wrist (which i knew might be an issue when i adopted her), and loki is 11 years old, so i'm trying to cut back on jumping/running sports.

#worldDogStar is now my primary #agility dog, which is not at all what i expected, haha. she's also got another #fastCAT trial coming up on the 20th-22nd in concord. 👏
