Yay! Angus passed his Designated Odour Test for wintergreen.
It was a blind, unpaired test with 12 boxes.
Angus doesn't give formal alerts, so I had to rely on his body language to tell me which box had odour in it. That's the hard part because he is pretty subtle.
We walked along the first row of boxes and he sniffles each one and bumped the last one with his nose. So, we went down the second row and he sniffed each box. So, we went back to the one he bumped and he was sniffing it quite hard. So, I called alert on that box, which was the correct one.
I was given a good reminder though not to mess with our routine. I put a new collar on him and it was making him very itchy. He kept having to stop to scratch his neck. I should have stuck to the old ratty collar that we always wear to nosework.
