I'm thinking that a bark alert would fit if the alert was for something he had been taught to recognize.
So would your nosework if you named the goal and showed both pre-training and then final clip.
Maybe if you changed from food to another item in boxes and had him find it and then do a special alert? Then he wouldn't be partly trained already on it ....

My car was broken into and my camera was stolen along with my wallet, so I won't be able to provide a pre-video clip.
But--
Abby- directed search for object off leash. Keys, cellphone (oops- that was also stolen), glove, for example. Arm signals or voice commands for the search area. Active alert when found (bark or come and get me to show me- not sure which yet). Also, I'd like to teach her to "check" the house for intruders when we come home. One or the other. Both if I have time.
Tikko- NOTE: This has been changed, with OK, to having have Tikko go find a glove (or other clothing) that has owner's scent and lie on or next to it.
Tessa- tracking skills for her. She's a natural footstep tracker (not air scent), so I'll work her on urban footstep tracking. On long line. End goal- a five minute, 30 minute "old" track. I may work Abby in this as well just for kicks.
Hoping to get things squared away and have a camera within the month.

" I'd like to teach my silly husky who has an independent streak to "go home" and either wait in the yard (if I leave the gate open) or sit on the steps. For the contest, that may be from just a few houses down."

Our goal is to teach Duke to do a container search for a training dummy that I've scented with cinnamon leaf oil (the only essential oil in the house).
I will initially start by marking and rewarding when he noses the dummy on the floor, as I'm sure he will since it'll smell funny. We'll move to containers, adding one box per session, then we will try to add a sit to 'indicate' the find by the end of the training period. This will be our first time doing any sort of nosework apart from hiding Duke's toys during playtime

Is this acceptable?
I am doing name recognition with Logan. I am going to teach him to show me by touching with his nose or paw what I am asking. I am going to teach him to recognize the color blue. I'll probably paint some wooden squares or buy some cheap plastic things that are several colors.
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

Yes.
(Careful with colors .... you probably know that some greens and purples fall into the same color range that dogs see as what we call blue. You'll want to look at the colors-as-seen-by-dogs charts if you use colors at all. )
