Sniff Happens: Layla’s Learning to Trust Her Nose Sometimes in the introductory teaching phase of nosework, your dog will look at you for direction, like, “So… are you going to help or what?” Don't direct them. You want your dog to learn on their own to drive the search. It may be hard to do, but just wait for your dog to make the decision to search. You wait.

Less directing. More following. Happier sniffing.
Layla’s intro to nosework class reminded me how powerful it is to trust the nose and let curiosity lead. Sweet moments, stinky food, and growing confidence. #BlueBlur #Nosework #Rplus #RescueDog #AppetitiveForTheWin #DogDriven
