Varoom! Training in Nosework
10-6-24

We would normally train at Craftco Metalworks’ storage yard, but the wildfire raging a few miles away polluted the air too much for safe training.  We moved to the PAWSitive Training Arena instead – and used many of the items that Denise had collected for the nosework trial (which the fire forced us to cancel).  A friend had already been halfway here from Washington state when we canceled the trial, so she joined us in training.  The arena lighting makes for very difficult photography.  Fluorescent lights overhead compete with sunlight streaming in through the windows, and both reflect from the walls onto the ground and everything else.  I’m grateful that we got as many usable photos as we did.  Varoom! was in the middle of a MAJOR undercoat shed, so ignore the tufts of hair that show up in some of the photos.
