A new ORT dog
Today, Page passed her first (birch) Odor Recognition Test (ORT) for the National Association of Canine Scentwork (NACSW). She’s now qualified for Nosework 1 trials and elements. She’s nearly 13; who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
(Those are Page’s ears sticking out of my lap blanket while she sneakily naps on the couch.)

I've been associating with cattle dogs (often called blue heelers, red heelers, or just heelers) since 1988. Carter, my fourth rescued cattle dog, is what's called 'reactive'. We've been working with a trainer since early 2012 and are also involved in Canine Scentwork.
