In the right setting, I hear, training your dog to find truffles is a good thing, rewarding emotionally for both dog and owner.
You ever done that?
After the (probably multi session training) in a controlled environment that ensures reward for the dog you can go elsewhere and do as trained, and find more. Or so I imagine that this works.
After splashing around in the lake one morning, before we leave this Golden turns around to reflect. Approximately one minute of sitting at the shore, watching the lake and letting me wait.
This dog really loves the local mud pit. Thanks to intermittent rain every few days the fun never stops. Do I even need to say we shower him frequently? #mudretriever
Luckily, @Awesome Emma hasn't discovered mud pits yet. But she enjoys the beach (digging in the sand) and going to swim - and afterwards rolling in the sand so that we have fun at home for days...
Awesome Emma is more advanced in the water and splashy sciences it seems! Malte the dog sure is awesome too, but swimming still isn't a natural given. He likes to feel the ground beneath the paws
