    I am considering trying to shape her alert to a behavior that is different from her NW alert indications. What are your thoughts on this and, if you agree, can you provide some guidance? For example, if I want to shape her behavior away from the “look at me” to a “down” or “sit” (I used to use a “down” in tracking, but with Dorie I haven’t taught her that for tracking), would that be inappropriate?

    As you know, with K9NW, we don’t shape indication behaviors, so this is not something I have tried with Dorie. But truffles ain’t NW… 😉

    South Hills area #3

    As you can see from all the photos, the terrain and vegetation in this area is all very similar. Everything is very dry frm the drought. Up in the Azusa & San Gabriel Canyons, there are more oaks and ground cover, but you have to get in deep, off the trails.

    Video of a search using travel size rum bottles! One odor source (bottle with black lid). This is one of my favorite types of container searches – no holes in the lids, just lightly fastened – just enough for odor to escape.

    Next I’ll upload the photos of typical outside terrain and vegetation, near where I live and would likely search in.

    Another video, using round tins.
    Apparently, I uploaded the previous video properly!
    Also, I am going to fire my husband as videographer… 🙁
