Training off wildlife
I would love to hear ideas about training off wildlife using whatever technique you think would work (or has worked for you). All ideas are welcome. The idea is to get the dog to not go into the chase in the face of an animal that has been flushed and then takes off.

Caleb had another awesome night at Nosework...
After doing vehicle searches outside, we switched to thresholds. Yeah, ok- nothing amazing there. Then we did container/box searches. Here's the amazing part- Caleb is just starting to work with odor, so we pair treats with the odor. We also, as of now, only have odor at class. At home we just use...
