This was NoseWork Practice in Turbotville. The day turned out to be ok.... at least this time it wasn't raining. The dogs each had time to do nine runs, plus three runs outdoors. Brutus did pretty good again. He did get a bit sidetracked on his one run..... checking out the whole space. Then he came across a huge mirror.... which I hadn't even noticed the last time we were there, nor did he! Of course he would find it this time..... He freaked out at himself again! Put the tough guy act on again. Nearly knocked the mirror of the wall. He was unleashed and I was having a hard time hooking him up. Obviously, the issue wasn't a one time think. Silke suggested that I get a small mirror and start desensitizing him to mirror, Again, it's all his raging testosterone.
He was able to do three runs outside, which is new to him. We've only did this once before. He was extremely quick at these three runs. All three runs were using open cardboard boxes, with access to the find.
We had a great time! Always fun to watch all the dogs work, and the slightly different approaches they take.
