more nosework for Brin

[brinian]

Brin and I have been practicing his nosework almost every day in one way or another.

Last week after I taught conformation class, we got the boxes out. He had to do his searches while barjor and katimonk were close enough to be distractions. It was harder than I thought it would be, especially since I was using a flying squirrel which apparently has less

a friend of mine found some little tins for holding BBs or buckshot in a sportsman's store that work well for the nosework tins. They have some sealed waterproof containers for little cameras that are nice too, for carrying the tin in your purse to avoid making your purse into a scent object.
It sounds like you have definately gotten your foundation going! It will be fun to see him work at the next seminar! I'll bet Brin finds the scent work actually easier than the Kong searches.
We've been using up some of our 'stay inside 'cause it is cold' energy on nosework. But definately not getting work in every day.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been pondering options at the craft store. Will still have to find magnets, but bb/amo container will work well and they should have those at Coastal where I'm headed tonight for a space heater for the garage!
