Reply To: Suggestions for Pattern Training — Karen & Lola

Those boxes are way too close together. 4-5′ apart is what I’d start with. Doesn’t really matter what odor. This is one of those things where you need to experiment to see what will work. You and Karen have vastly different dogs so you will need to adapt things that will work for you.

As I mentioned, it’s not the right thing for everyone but if you find your dog is skipping odor boxes it might help.
