Adding these for info on doing this kind of stuff for mental work at home.
@Kbailey34 - If you want to compete, I'd advise a teacher, as some of the things I do would need some correction especially on handlers end to stop bad habits before they start. But all in all you can see the intensity that nose work has on Asha's brain!
Still at 7 months, this one was actually a bit hard, I had empty boxes scattered but put the treat on the wood stove ledge. Scent is complicated and the air flow probably made the odor crawl up & along the wall. I was almost ready to call her off (say all done & treat her as we leave the room - don't let them get to the point of frustration) but she was still searching with pretty good attitude but not as enthusiastic as the first minute.
Adding difficulty in access, just 2 hides here, shows she is non-reactive to noise & clatter. Asha 8 months old:
This was the 2nd time we'd ever worked outside. Still at 8 months old, still using food only.
I didn't keep up with videos, but we eventually paired food with NACSW odors: Birch, Anise & Clove, then removed the food so she was alerting on odor to get her treat. I was getting ahead of myself & not wanting to make mistakes that would be hard to undo, in case I ever decided to trial in NW, so I pretty much stopped & went back to just simple hides for fun & brain work. It really is all about the dog and having fun.
aka trying to save your sanity while locked down with a Dober Devil! 
very pretty!
