Here was week one Royal tries out Nose Work and if you watch the video you can see that while Royal is working, his body is pretty tight in movement due to being nervous in the environment.
And Royal at week two and what a difference in Royal - notice no belly band on!
Royal doing great and then what's that? It was hot this day and there was a fan going in the class. None of us noticed it but, Royal did. The great news is that he was able to hear and see the fan and then keep working. Good job Royal.
Still working and there a noise that the box makes has he sticks his head in. The noise is from his body touching the box. He recovers well and moves toward the "find" which is food on top of a container.
And more good work - the box that startled him, he was able to go back check it out, move on and find the container with the food.
Royal ready for more Nose Work!
Both Torii and Royal have done really well in Nose Work! Many thanks to our amazing instructor Erica for giving each of them what they need during class to be successful. I would say both dogs have an increase in confidence because of Nose Work. And both dogs had fun doing what dogs do - searching with their nose and locating the find. Way to go you silly ratties!
