mushroom hunting
no, not *that* kind of mushroom...
i'd like to teach my dogs to sniff out wild mushrooms. we have Chanterelles in our area, and possibly enokis too. how do you teach a dog to find a specific type of mushroom by scent? i would assume you let them smell the specimen, then treat, then smell, then treat. or smell, sit, treat. basic operant conditioning, like a clicker, right? has anyone done anything like this successfully? i know they use pigs to smell out truffles, i figure i can use my Tasmanian pig dogs to find something tasty... -kelly |
