Nitro, AKC Scentwork (Nosework); Master Containers Q1

[@SniffingWithMurphy]

Nice search. Solid, confident, indication on the paint can. When you went back around the third time, I thought it was unnecessary. But turns out I was wrong. Did you have an idea there was a hide in the adjacent box? If so, what did you see that made you believe so?

I hope you dont mind me commenting. But for me when I watched it, on the second pass when they went counter clockwise, Nitro showed a lot of interest on/around the black container just before the box containing the second hide. It seems like as he went to the box with the 2nd hide, due to odors pooling/converging, he picked up on the 1st hide again. To me it was clear from the change of behaviour a second hide was likely in that area.

It doesn’t mater if the dog put its paw and move the box ??

You’ll see containers get moved around a lot by dogs especially when on slick surfaces (like tile floors at schools). As long as the dogs aren’t smashing or destroying the containers, you’re good!
