Hooray! I was so nervous today, we had to drive 90 miles to the test site for the Odor Recognition Test. It's only given about twice a year and was shut down during Covid. We had passed 2 of the 3, just needed the last scent, Clove.
Well the dogs did us proud. Faith nailed it in about 10 seconds, I was SO proud and relieved! Felt like a weight off my shoulders; I didn't realize how pressured I was feeling.
Elijah did great also, only a bit slower, maybe 15 seconds according to my hubby.
So now, if we wanted to compete in Nosework, we are ready to go. Not that we have a burning desire to do so - it means traveling and sitting around a lot for only a few minutes of actual searching, but at least we've accomplished something. It really is a super fun sport.
