Nosework session

I've been totally slacking on practicing Nosework with Dragon. Fortunately in a few weeks we're starting another class with his Auntie Miki, and that's motivating me again. We did some hides in the Metro Dog lobby today. The first took a very long time. I think that he was figuring out the way the wind currants in the lobby were moving, as well as taking advantage of the opportunity to sniff everything. He sniffed multiple times underneath the cabinets that he always crawls under for stray balls and bits of kibble. After that first hide, though, the difference was amazing. The other four were found in 20-90 seconds. At that point he clearly could follow the direction of the scent trail winding across the lobby. So cool.
