Scent Work Patterning Exterior Searches

This video shows pattern training for exterior searches in scent work with Truffle. The goal is to teach her to check the first object at the start line, and then systematically work down the search objectives. Hides were placed as follows during the session (slightly different than the edited movie): position #1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 4, before, 1, after, 4, 2, 2, 11, 1, 1, 2, 1. • Truffle has a nice indication on wooden boxes, and is excellent at finding source, so we’re working on incentivizing checking the first object on the threshold for faster times. Note the warm-up and cool-down should be easy for the dog, so novice dogs should not end the session on long, difficult, exterior searches with distractions. Truffle’s cool-down was an off leash search at the park, which is a fun way she loves to blow off steam. Thanks Ellen and Truffle for being great students! It’s fun to watch you work.
