Early days of truffle dog training for Kovu in 2017.

Truffle dog training in the early days with Kovu in 2017 off season. By the next truffle season in 2018 he was finding kilograms of truffle and then our journey of truffle hunting and subsequent business began. Finding his biggest truffle on his first day of searching a 715grams whopper.
Moving from k9 Nosework to truffle scent training after ordering truffle training oil from France.
He had already been trained for a 'find it' game where I would show him the scent of the food reward then hide it. He understood the game as find the scent that I showed him. I started this 'find it' game from 3 months of age. I then started showing him non food objects and saying find after I have hid it then gave the reward.
