Having fun with line-ups right now. 💕
Working on a new scent so I am just rewarding any quick sniffs. Having found a calmer way to search I see her little brain work hard to find the scent. So fun to see her progress!

A clip of the end of a tricky search where Willow has to ignore a fresh deer track (I saw the deer 1 minute earlier!). 🦌
She got a bit distracted by it but quickly moved on and found the toy after 4 mins of searching. 👏

We are also working with line ups at home and I will try and film that soon.

Home again from a very interesting scent detection course 🚗

Me and Willow jumped in the car and drove 7 hours (!) on Friday to Hällefors, where we attended a very interesting scent detection course. We started imprinting her on black tea and she was very confused to start with, but slowly she picked up what she should do.

It was incredibly interesting to see how frustrated and confused she was to start with, and then seeing her calm down and getting more and more focused. We will take this learning and keep working on her being more calm and focused when searching.

Our new garden is full of the invasive Spanish slug. 🐌
So I decided to try and teach Willow to find them, as our first scent detection project! 💡

For the first session I trapped slug and got Willow out for a quick clicker training session. Let’s see if we mange to get this scent imprinted before winter. ❄️

Tricky search in the rain yesterday. Love to see when she catches the scent!
