Truffle dream-team Gizmo&Andrea? In the newly started truffledog-apprenticeship we are working on our skill. Every dog is suitable for this training. No matter what size, breed or mixed-breed. It takes a patient and months long build up of the skill before the dog gets into a kind of truffle-search-routine. Humans observation gift is highly required and crucial in finding truffles. When i miss or misinterpreting Gizmos pointing sign and give him then the wrong signal, the truffle-search works poorly. The truffle-dog-apprenticeship is therefore as challenging for our dogs as us dogowners. Humans often have difficulties to trully trust the nosework of our doggies. Fortunately little Gizmo is showing me the locality very clear. He is digging, then is looks at me and waits…of course for his reward. But there are dogs who only dip once on the ground and walk away or some dig the truffle out and eat them immediatly. We will keep you up to date with our success stories and wish you all a happy weekend.
