Adding ✨NW1✨ behind Wally’s name 🏆😭 We completed in our first official Nosework Trial today through NACSW (National Association of Canine Scent Work) Yall I can’t lie, I jumped up and down and cried when we passed the last search today 😭😭 and I got emotional for a few reasons: 1. We’ve been training in this sport for the last YEAR. It’s been a long process! We’ve been ready to do this for a while, but it just took me making the jump to sign us up! 2. There’s A LOT of pressure at National Association of Canine Scent Work trials. Unlinke AKC, in order to receive your title you have to pass four searches (interior, exterior, containers and vehicle) all in the SAME day. If you miss one, then you don’t get your title. I had such a weight on my shoulders, especially for the containers (boxes) since that’s something that he has struggled with the most! 3. We were the only bully breed competing today among almost entirely purebred dogs. It brings me such joy to know that I can advocate for bully breeds through many means, including Dog sports. They are SO capable. 4. Nosework is a TEAM sport, so I put a lot of pressure on myself to have to trust Wally because he consistently shows me he can find odor, but it’s me as the handler who often misinterprets his body language. I’m proud of not just him but myself. But guess what? WE DID IT! In the pouring rain. In a high wind advisory. Ugh I’m just so proud 🥹🥹🥹🥹 ANDDDD out of 34 dogs, we got the 2nd fastest time in the vehicle search! Ugh ok done boasting, gonna go take a well deserved nap! Like this video?!
