This year we have 4 new truffle hunting apprentices.
Our first dog is named Jasper
Name: Jasper
Breed: English springer Spaniel
Age: 12 months
Reward: Cooked Chicken
Weekly Training Sessions: Jasper has already started some training while watching Maddy, a professional truffle hunter but needs to build his confidence. We are starting small and working our way up to more difficult challenges.
Week 1: Paired Inside
Week 2: Paired outside/ Unpaired inside.
Week 3: Unpaired outside with distractions
He is coming along very nicely and it still quite a young dog. We are working on building his confidence, stamina and accuracy with his alerting.
