Sounds great.  I wish you well.  I'm a bit envious TBH.  What could be better (with your clothes on) than plenty of outdoorsy type stuff with a dog (or dogs)?  Sadly not for me these days as gammy knee prevents a lot of walking (sniff).

Most of COL seems to have gone into hibernation for the winter...

I think everyone‘s cyber social distancing, it has indeed gone very quiet lately!
Humphrey and I have signed up for a Nose work Workshop  :shades: in a couple of weeks but its only fun, I don‘t expect it to be over challenging but am just hoping for a few more ideas to keep the boredom at bay - he‘s becoming a real couch potato lately!
Looking forward to seeing some videos of Eze in action again soon Ian!  ;)

I am sure you will both love the workshop.  Started with Muffin Scentwork over a year ago and he did his first trial in the early part of the year and passed with a clean sweep.  He can now indicate on two odours clove and gun oil.  We are working towards our Level 2 trial.  Working indoors off lead, on lead vehicle searches and exterior searches.

Seems like it... I read the few posts that pop up. But I am so tired after work that I usually fall asleep before I can manage to contribute in any way  :005: After months of isolation this spring, working with people all day is surprisingly exhausting :005:  Will be fun to see what the working dogs are up to this season. My lovely old dog struggled to find the deer that stood staring at her from a few meters away today. She could smell it, but was unable to see it. Even if I was a hunter, which I am not, I think she would be retired this season.

Lovely to have you back, I love your posts of Eze in action.  Forum has been quiet, for sure.  I think that not being out and about means nobody really has much to say.  We are away for a couple of weeks at the end of September.  I am looking forward to the time off work, and getting out of the confines of the house.
