The visual checking may or may not fade over time. Dogs are quite resourceful. Spotting the target is much easier than locating it by scent. You will learn over time if she needs to “see” an area first before asking her to find a truffle. In some situations, it simply becomes part of the “pre-game” routine. For now, just observe and let her problem solve. The more you know about how she likes to work, the better you will be able to read each other in the long run 🙂
