On March 20th, I earned my NW3 Exterior Element Title! I’ve worked on it for a while and not only did I finally earn it, my search was spectacular. Mom and I had so much fun searching together at my trial that day! I did find nine of the ten hides, but I also got one “no”, so no overall title.
Our team has been in a free fall for several years and back in August when I scored just 12.5 out of a possible 100, Mom was going to retire me from nose work. Thankfully one of the judges we know said she could help us with my motivation. We started working with her in September, and I now take weekly classes from her. My AKC trial in October went much better than in the past, but this last trial was incredible. Mom and I had so much fun together! I wagged my tail, barked and howled with joy, all day long!
My last search of the day was my exterior search in an enclosed courtyard. There were a lot of things to search in the area and Mom was nervous, but she kept trusting me as she had all day. I did not disappoint finding all three hides lickity split! My search time was just a minute and ten seconds which was the seventh fastest. In the video, you can see how happy I am about working and finding the hides. I’m thrilled to also have my NW3 Exterior Element Title finally. Now I need to get the NW3 Title!
On the way home we stopped at the butcher shop and got fresh marrow bones for me and my sisters to celebrate. It was a wonderful day, and I can’t wait to go to another trial!
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
that was a super gift for you and your sisters!!! congrats that was pawsome nose work!
Thank you. That search was really fun.
WOW, you sure did a terrific job and you sure were quick too! We enjoyed your video.
Now that our teamwork is improving I’m getting faster at finding my hides too.
Yay, Bailie! Great job! Hey, Mommy, go get something to hide for me to find (please). Xena
Congratulations on a wonderful run!!!
Thank you.
lickety split is right! you were super quick in that search. And your tail WAS wagging the whole time! What a wonderful experience you and mom had. We are so proud of you! have a great day! your friend Lilly
Thank you. We just love our new trainer and she has gotten the fun back in the game for us both. Mom says I’ve never been this happy doing nose work. You should have seen me waiting for my turn, pulling my mom around, barking and howling with excitement, something I’ve never done. Now I need to get the big title!
I’m so glad mom didn’t retire you and gave you more chances. It paid off wonderfully.
You so deserved that special treat too. Mom rocks.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all your siblings and my best to your mom. ♥
Thank you. We have tried several trainers with no luck but finally we found the solution to our troubles and we are better than ever now!
Oh, Bails, you did fantastic! So happy you found your spirit for the hunt again. Fun times for you and your mom. I’ve gotta go check with my mom as I want a marrow bone for me. XOXO Sparkle
Marrow bones are so yummy! I’m really happy our team is working so well. It’s amazing what a new trainer with a good idea can do.
Bailie deserved that marrow bone. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yes, I did! I worked hard all day and did really well.
Good Job!
Thank you.
Bailie! You ROCKED that search! And you knew it! We could see that tail wagging. We are excited you got such a terrific ribbon and we are cheering you on for the overall title! We are so happy to see you happy! We hope you all have a marvellously happy day!
I will try again for that overall title next month. I just got confirmation that I have a spot in May.
Fabulous job, Bailie, and a marrow bone was a well-deserved treat!
It sure was. I had so much fun, but it is hard work tracking down all that odor all day long.
Wahoo! You did a fabulous job!
Thank you.
Congratulations Bailie!!!
