Kimberly BuchananHonestly, I think Molly just needs more of the “add a hide” searches you just did. Different places, interior, exterior, on leash, off leash, paired, unpaired. Not sure if you were planning to take the Back to Basics course, which we will do this exercise (at least that’s the plan) for one of the lessons but it is something that will help her to understand how odors work together and help you to manage the search.
THRESHOLDS are critical! If you want to do a series of thresholds, that would be the next thing. Single hide searches entering into a space – small space, large space, interior, exterior, on leash, off-leash (small areas only).
