seeing him linger and sniff around my shoe shelf was SO so happy to see. This dog defaults to visual stimulation so the fact that he was using his nose to look for the cup is so!!!!!
Ooh another fun thing that you can't tell I'm doing in this video but I am in fact doing: Strategically planting his fish around the room, his first big search area, to use superstition to my advantage. Trying to install a right-to-left search pattern in da boy
(a consistent search pattern makes for better coverage of the area when looking for scents)
