Yesterday was not only wet outside but my daughter was home sick from school. So needless to say, Porter was a bit under-stimulated. Nose work to the rescue!! Eight hides later and the edge was taken off.
One hide I did was just so I could observe how he works. I placed it on something hanging from the ceiling fan in the middle of the room, so about 5.5 feet up in the air. Higher than in a trial. It was interesting to see Porter circle the room several times, obviously catching odor but assuming it was from the shelves and items along the walls. Then his circling became tighter and he lifted his head. Quickly he realized it was up and was able to pinpoint the location. He did a great job tell him where it was even though he couldn't touch it. His eyes and nose looked right at it.
