While the boys were out walking, Catty and I were at our very first Nose Work trial. It was a great time and we were a great team, earning our first title! In order to title the dog/handler team have to locate the hidden odor in a certain amount of time in all four elements (interior search, vehicle search, container search and exterior search). If you miss one you don't get your title.
Even if we had not titled, it still would have been rat-tastic! Catty LOVES Nose Work and I love watching her excitement and our teamwork. Every time Catty and I work together she teaches me something and I adore this funny girl!

Here's a great link talking about Nose Work and you can see what it looks like for a team to trial in the elements of an interior and container search. Remember the handler has no idea where the hide is - the human can't see or smell.
