I had to stop the fun and games however because in nosework, they are to lead you on a long lead. "LEAD" to Ram Jet Rocket Dog meant racing to the source of scent as fast as she could go dragging me along. This was counter-productive for our main goal which is STEADINESS at Hunt Tests.
But I gotta tell you, we did it long enough to know it would be a hoot!
