Can they see the kibble? I'm having trouble telling on my phone. Looks like fun! Enzo is just calmer and more dependent, like Arnold.
No, the lids are clear, but when there's stuff inside of the containers, it's hard to see. I'm going to black out the lids after a few more times anyway, but right now I have the "food" container marked so I don't end up cross contaminating it with scent, because I'm not using kibble, I'm using ground beef, cheese, hot dogs, ect, really stinky stuff. Even I can smell the difference in the containers lol.
Enzo is a weirdo lol, I only filmed her last few runs because the first several she was FLAILING around going "WHAT ARE WE DOING?! HUH?! WHAT'S THIS GAME NOW?!" LOL
I'm going to be getting some different hides soon, but I wanted to teach this more like actual detection work at first. I'm going to be getting a few different types of tins, and I want to be able to send them down a row or a line of containers and have them indicate which hide it is. Then we'll start on room searches.
I'm trying to teach a passive alert, Jones is getting there, Enzo is not ready to learn to alert yet, I'm trying to teach her to use her nose, and work interdependently of my direction. She's starting to get it, but she still looks to me about 75% of the time before she actually starts searching.
