More of the same! He’s going to be a ROCK STAR! 3-4 sessions/day and 4 hides each session!
Here is the 2 week video. I started with 15 min. and cut it to under 2 min. He generally keeps his nose on the source (odor is birch) until I say “yes” and then he lifts his head. Sometimes I am saying it quietly so it just looks like I’m rewarding him after his head is up but I’ve marked it when his head is down. I started using a leash and moving it around over his back as he sticks with the source. His obedience to odor is really good for only doing this for 2 weeks.

And the training room is getting slightly more chaiotic!
Here are some of the containers I’m using for hides:
