did nosework with the dude for the first time in literal ages. probably chose a terrible day to see how much he needed brushing up, as the wind blew consistently to the north. the scent became trapped in the corner of the yard (seen in the background), so he spent a lot of time in that area. but! he did find the scent 5/5 times! even the one where i placed it a little Too High in the tree.
i’ve learned to always stop while i’m ahead with him, otherwise we will start having false hits and he becomes more inclined to indicate on the wrong targets in the future. his last hide was trickier: behind a closed gate. he knew the scent was around there, but because of wind and the inability to get to the physical location of the scent, he indicated on a fence post - three feet from the scent, so not terrible just not right. he did eventually find it and indicated correctly.
and for those who are new, as there’s a fair number of you (👋🏻), i’ve trained canon to search for the scent of gunpowder, his indication is to down at the scent and point with his nose. he has taken it a step further (seen here) to lay his head fully on the scent source when it is on ground level, rather than just pointing to it.
