🐾👃 **Such super sniffers!** 👃🐾

Our Level 2 Scent Seekers crew absolutely rocked it! 🤩 From tricky searches to building those scent skills, these dogs have been putting their noses to work.

A special shout-out to Ciara, who unfortunately missed graduation after having surgery at Massey University. 💕 We know just how valuable scent work has been for you and your recovery!

We're looking forward to seeing most of you again for **Level 3 next week!** 🎉

More challenging searches, new environments and taking those scent skills to the next level. 🐶💨

Well done, scent seekers! 🥰

🐾 **Why train a reliable recall?**

So you can have as much fun as we did heading up Mt Fyffe! 🏔️🐕

A reliable recall isn’t just about safety — it means more freedom, more adventures, and more places to explore together.🙌

But let’s be realistic… recall isn’t always perfect. Because, well… dogs are dogs! 😂

That’s why solid loose-lead walking is just as important.

My dogs have fantastic recall, but I still don’t take chances in the bush. If I think there’s a risk, they go back on lead. They’d probably be fine, but encountering wildlife, livestock, steep drop-offs or other unexpected distractions isn’t a risk I’m prepared to take.

**Good training gives our dogs more freedom — but good judgement keeps them safe.** ❤️

Train the recall. Train the loose lead. Know when to use both.

More skills = more adventures! 🐾🏔️
