I know some folks don't allow inside rough housing but as long as they aren't destroying anything, I don't mind cuz they tire themselves out. Notice how Moo knows Rubie must have at least one foot in carpet at all times? And Rubie sneezing means she's all play, right? Idiots :rofl:

Skynyrd sneezes like that too. Why do they do that? Is it excitement?
 
He's definitely using his nose! When they are searching/seeking a "hide" many of them wag the tail. Also they circle like this, he catches the ball scent, starts following it in the air, loses it, turns back to find it, catches the scent again. This is typical nose behavior! If you want to do this again, hold him back, toss the ball - or a high value treat - into that mess of snow with all the foot prints and then send him to go find. He'll have a blast - he gets self rewarded by finding what he's looking for and the mental challenge will make you both happy!

Thanks for this. I never thought of it that way! Sometimes he looks like he doesn’t have a clue where the ball landed. But thats through my inexperienced eyes. Now that you mention this it makes perfect sense, im not sure why I didn’t think of that.

I started doing this the first winter we had him. I threw the ball, it got lost in the snow. When I saw the nub going crazy and him working so hard to find it- it became one of the best exercises for snowy weather. Fun time!
 
These video excerpts don't do these dingos justice. They act like we've not skipped months of training/trialing.

Not only excellent weave poles, but each doggo stayed on the platform while the other performed

Notice how Moo and Rubie each have their own style?


And a fun sequence with some flashy handling

I loved seeing their styles! Moo has the hops with his shorter body and Rubies cuts those weaves with alternating feet like a ninja!
