Wonderful sport because you are helping your dog build on a skill that he or she already possesses, searching with the nose. And you set up the searches so the dog is always, always successful. That is key.<br /><br />The only other thing I could add about doing searches indoors is that personally I prefer not to have my dogs search in our home as there are so many competing odors. (Boy, what does that say about my home!). So, I'll practice in the garage instead. Great open space when any vehicles, clutter are moved out of the way. And certainly a nice open floor area in a basement would be terrific as well. <br /><br />Hope all of this information is helpful. Have fun introducing your dog to searching.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519532266560570879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571280799838687527.post-26292861082624124382011-11-10T18:40:04.297-08:002011-11-10T18:40:04.297-08:00Catherine, Ana and I have taken classes from NACSW...Catherine, Ana and I have taken classes from NACSW instructors, and we have our own dogs working towards titles.

The dogs love it! We have the dogs in down/sit stay and release them one at a time to "find it" while the other stays.
