Finn is really getting better at nosework, he passed his Birch ORT in September and his Clove and Anise ORTs this month, all on the first try. I wanted to try for NW1 soon, but I don't think he has enough experience in exteriors or vehicles, so we might try an Elements trial for Containers and Interiors in April. In the beginning he didn't seem overly motivated to search, but his drive has really been kicking in as he matured. I think I was confusing being unmotivated with just be overstimulated by his environment, as he still struggled with the warm up boxes at the ORT where other dogs were visible, but got right to work in the actual ORT where there were limited distractions.
