Julia Completes Her AKC Scent Work Advanced Interior Title

Julia and I had a fun weekend attending the AKC Scent Work Trials hosted by the Obedience Club of Daytona in Daytona Beach, Florida. The weekend consisted of four nose work trials over two days.

We competed in Advanced Interiors, Advanced Buried and Excellent Containers. Over the two days of trials Julia completed her Advanced Interior Title. She was two for two in Advanced Interiors, two for two in Advanced Buried and two of four in Excellent Containers taking 4th place in one of the container searches.

Below is a video that a friend took of our first Advanced Buried run. Julia seemed to take her time in finding the hides but perhaps she was just being thorough.☺In the end she cleared the area before time expired and that’s what counts. I am super proud of my girl. I was quite surprised by the spectators reaction when I called finish. Such a fun sport.

AKC Scent Work Trials - Daytona Beach, Florida

Julia competed at her second AKC Scent Work Trial(s) up in Daytona Beach, Florida this weekend. (The weekend consisted of 4 total trials. Julia was in 3 trials). The event was hosted by Obedience Club of Daytona. First, a huge thank you to the host, judges, volunteers, and other competitors. It was a truly fun event. Good job!

In the trials Julia competed in, she titled in Novice B Containers, Novice B Interior and received High In Trial for Novice B Trial 2 Saturday. She racked up two 3rd places in Novice B Containers, 1st and 3rd place for Novice B Interiors, and 2nd place buried in trial 2. After titling in Novice B Containers and Interiors, I moved her up to advanced and she placed 4th in Advanced Containers (No ribbon, we hit the road before results were official) and 5th in Advanced Interior.

She was 7 of 9 over the weekend. The only 2 misses were on the buried hides which are still quite new to us. In a nutshell, we had a blast. It's always great to spend some time with my girl. 

Below is a video of her advanced container run. Videos are such an important learning tool. Had I not got hung up on rewarding her for the first hide, we would have been about 6 seconds faster. Good job Julia!!!
