Sophie and I attending a SDDA scent games workshop on the weekend. It was cool
Learning another way to bring sniffing into our world and hanging with my girl.

We started with the SPEED game- this for sure is her jam, she always likes to do things FAST! 🙄
Watch out tho tim bits can be a high distractor!

Then we moved onto the DISTANCE game- I was a little concerned how this one would go as you have to send them out to find the hide. Surprisingly she did the best at this game. Something can be said about letting the dog do the work with no interference from the “doubt on the rope” (me!).

The next was AERIAL-this by far was the hardest for Sophie and me. You can see the pic they have to search things hanging, this is not a normal for a lot of dogs and she struggled to grasp it and I struggled to help her. Just meanwe get to practice more.

The last game was “Team” - now this is an elite game not for the faint of heart. Not only are you doing a room search with up to 5 hides you are working with another team. This game is as much about the doubt on the rope again ME! As it is the dog. Humans have to communicate as you are both searching the same area. I feel with the right team mates this can be a very cool game but the one with the most compnents.

Big thanks go out to Quinte Canine and Yvonne Ferguson for hosting this and opening up even more possibilities in the scent world.

These are some great questions to reflect on 2024 and being into your relationship with your dog for 2025.

So proud of these two! We all completed scent lvl 1 last night. 👏

Finley will move onto scent lvl 2 in the new year and Milomax will continue with intermediate trick training( he will come back to scent in the spring).

These little ones were for sure the rowdiest of the 7 dogs in class! 😳😛

Thanks Quinte Canine for putting up with these vocal skorkies.

So proud of this little guy.

MiloMax did so well, novice trick training, he is such a fun pup to work with. We have moved onto level one scent training.

Giving your pups ways to fulfill genics and have fun doing it is so important.

Taking the time to work with our own dogs has filled my bucket as well.

I could not agree more.

Dog parks are the worse way to socialize your dog. If you use them and have not had an incident YET be thankful and stop using them cause time is not on your side. There will be a day that your dog is in mess like this one.

This little guy is heading into his last week of trick training. He has done so well and added a few new tricks to his profile. This week he also starts scent training level one with his brother.

I love having the time and space to do fun things with our pups and to fulfill their needs.

It is important for your pup to experience new things and most importantly doing it together builds such a bound.
