This is very well explained, thank you! Both my dogs are very scent motivated and I know they'll love this.

[@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland]

All dogs love this!!! It’s great cross training. My dogs are more precise in obedience and agility after they’ve had a scent work lesson.

Can you explain the natural alert more.

[@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland]

My dog, Maverick, pokes her nose towards the odor then looks at me waiting for her reward. She has naturally done this and since it’s reliable and doesn’t disrupt the search area, I never bothered training a different alert.
My dog, DashDash, paws at the odor and flings containers across the floor. Since this disrupts the area, I had to train an alert that is not disruptive.

Have you previously trained her to each of the smells?

[@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland]

Yes. First train to search. Then train to alert.

What is the odor vessel you are using here

[@BaebeasDogTrainingPortland]

In this video I’m using floral tubes. Their small plastic tubes with a hole for odor to escape.
