I had a fab day with handsome Griff. We did a bit of a treat search and an enriched environment after a sniffy walk at the church. I will do a proper update tomorrow . I love my new Nava and Me treat pouches they were so useful . I tend to alternate between treat searches and enriched environments .

I usually start with enrichment and investigation and progress at the dogs’ pace from there .

I start without food and then once the dog is relaxed add different treats.
