I posted these backwards 🤦♀️😆
Saturday morning saw Falkor and Mirabel attend their final Introduction to Nosework class. We managed to get some outdoor practice in before the extreme weather hit (including thunder, lightning and heavy rain) and we moved back indoors for the remainder of the class.
I am so proud of how my dogs have come along in such a short time and in particular how it has helped build Falkor's confidence in himself. He is very attached to me and typically waits for me to give him an instruction or permission to do something but Scentwork requires a bit more independence and it's been lovely to see him go from sitting at my feet asking for help in the first session to practically dragging me to the right place by the end.
Mirabel also loves it, though has a very different style. She is naturally more independent and a bit less serious (okay, a lot less serious!).
We will now look towards the next step, which is Introduction to Odour.
Thank you to our instructor Simone for the classes and these photos 🥰
