This or That - Breed Edition
Comment which one you would rather have and then post another for the next person. Labrador or Golden Retriever?

Cannot beat a Golden to make you smile on a bad day and a working golden gives that plus a great training partner so has to be golden

@Nancy Beauchemin Sounds like she is a brilliant worker. I could not however deal with a show golden coat - have looked after several for friends and family and the grooming to prevent getting a free shag pile carpet would kill me.

Day 124 Experiment in scent
Today tried something new. Stuffed my wife into a wooden box 40m upwind with a mattress pump connected to a pipe leading under a wood pile. Kizmet obviously picked up her scent but was a little confused and did not do a good bark alert despite finding the correct spot. Idea is to be able to give her a smaller scent picture than a close by human body. It is hard to replicate a deeply buried person under a few floors of building but a pipe with a weak pump blowing in means I should be able to play with the concentration a bit. Also can use less obvious hides with a pipe than a full human.

@Samantha Preece Just human scent in general but as my wife is the only convenient and willing subject she must be an expert on her by now. Ideally would be using a lot more strangers than known people but that is not realistic unfortunately. Just have to grab any chance I get for her to find new people.

@Lynne Willmott Was a bit loud in there with the pump so gave her ear protection because I am a thoughtful spouse. Not the worst thing she has done in the name of dog training over the years.

Day 43
Kairo wasn’t engaging with the toy today, so I tried sitting on the floor. Somehow, this unlocked her play drive and she joined the game. Our play still requires a lot of work!

That is looking good to me. Being down with them beats looming over top I am sure. I did a video for someone on how I built up play with Kizmet when she was a 3 month old puppy. I would do the same things with an older dog so might have something in there of use to you - but every dog is different and has their own style and preferences in play.

Day 122 More reps
This was morning session in park of directionals with mixed success so need to think more on how to practise longer distances with success. A few sessions of turns versus extensions.
