Nose Work again

My cold is no better. I went to a meeting at work this morning, but left at noon and took the boys out for a walk. 

When we came home, I decided that we needed to practise Biscuit's nose work, so that we have progressed, when we come to our lesson next week. 

So I put boxes out, hid lavender combined with treats in them and let Biscuit search. 

The idea is that if he always finds food near the lavender scent, then he will start searching for the lavender to find the treats. Once he understands this, we will stop putting treats on the lavender every time and just click and reward, when he shows interest in the lavender. He has then learned to find lavender, which is the first Nose Work challenge. 

Gollum and Hero had a go too, It was very windy and the boxes kept blowing away, which was really annoying. We did manage some good searches though. 

Now I need a nap to try to recover from this cold.

See you tomorrow
