A different exterior area for the dogs to search tonight. It could have been a real p*e temptation for some with all the grass and plants…. but they rose to the occasion and no accidents 🐾.

Vehicle searches for warm up and recovery hides and lots of converging odor in a small space. Not to mention the change in the odor picture near the A/C units with them cycling on & off.

TSA BETA. This is a fun game taken out of Ready, Sit, Go’s Nose Work Games Catalog by Michael and Natalie McManus. So much fun but a challenge for the handlers (and score keeper). Each box is blank, or has either odor or a distractor in it. The handler has to call each container alert, blank or distractor. It’s so helpful for so many things. The focus changes from a detection exercise to a discrimination exercise. It helps with leash handling, observation skills and desensitizing talking so the dog doesn’t respond to every call and expect to be paid.
