Nose Work Trial

We went to a Nose Work competition today... absolute last chance as our Covid restrictions are to be tightened from Monday. Today we were allowed to gather up to 50 people, From Monday it will be 10 people. 

The dog club had split the class into 2 x 40 dog and handler teams, to make sure there were never more than 50 people present at a time. So Gollum and I got there at 1.30 pm and finished at 6.30 pm. 

My friend Bodil with Mille had her competition debut. She found 2 out of 4 hides and won the vehicle search. And Mille kept Tango entertained most of the day. They really are great friends - Mille and Tango. 

Gollum found all 4 hides in 56 secs, made no mistakes and won the competition! OH WOW - my clever little man! ❤ He also won the exterior search.
I really had a great time with him today - we worked as a team and I enjoyed every second of our trial.

See you tomorrow
