Here's a video of her taken this week retrieving "leather #3" from eleven articles placed on a towel.
This is such a mysterious exercise to train because we humans cannot sense what the dogs sense about the correct article. We cannot smell nearly as well as our dogs so we have to learn to trust them. I think this exercise is harder for the human than for the dog to "get".
Usually we have been working off about seven "dummies" in training - but this week i decided to put the number up to eleven - and she didn't have a problem with it - not at all.
We won't be competing in UD for about a year - i'm guessing - so we will have plenty of time to proof this exercise and get any wrinkles out - i want her to be perfectly relaxed doing it when she's in competition.
Eep has a Great Nose!
