Yesterday we drove to Red Deer for Bond and I to do a mock UTD test to evaluate our skills. I was so proud of him. He started strong, taking in the odour of the unknown track layer and headed out nose down and on track. We made it to the first article, a block of wood, and then made a hard surface turn across the parking lot. He turned again and was pulled towards the building where the odour was pooling. We went by the final article that was about 20’ away on the grass. He ended up following the track layers walk out trail until in abruptly ended where she was picked up by a car. He then confidently worked his way back to the glove. I was overwhelmed with pride to see how hard he worked to solve the scent puzzle. For a 9 month old puppy he is always amazing me. He got to enjoy an ice cream cone with Brodie to celebrate his successful track. (Thanks to Donna Brinkworth for sharing these photos)
