One of my pup people sent me this video of their dog doing "nose work". For those who haven't heard of nose work, it's a new sport for dog, based on detection work. But instead of drugs or explosives, the dogs are taught to search for odors such as birch, anise, and clove.
I like the idea, it seems like a good way for people to test their dogs abilities for this type of work, without having to deal with the legalities of having normal odors to train with.
It's on my list of things to do with my new pup. They have titles you can earn now and everything .
The difficult part is that it started in CA, where so many things start, and while it's spreading like wildfire, it's not really around here yet (Charlottesvile area).

I have looked into this, and took Roger to meet the person that runs the classes. He is from California, and very active in SchH and now Mondio. I will be starting the classes, just as something fun, and they are held only 2 miles away! He also told me about the Mondio Club he attends, checked that out too! Very nice group of people, looks like a lot of fun!
