      Who can smell out caches? We have been trying to train our dog Cookie to “find it” and I think after 3 years she is actually starting to get the hang of it!!!! 😀 I am so excited, she sniffed one out for me yesterday. Now I wonder, should she get her own cache account? 🙄 😯 😆

      I read about this in more detail once, somewhere :-).
      Basically, I think the thought is that most dogs can tell where caches are without much problem, it’s training them that it’s important information that they should relay on to you.

      Our dog just plain loves to get out in the woods … so the whole concept is exciting. So more often than not, he does NOT lead us to the cache. But a couple outtings back, we took a friend for the first time and Scooter pretty much sat on top of the cache, blocking the friend from seeing it. 🙂

      We have to borrow a geodog when we need one. Our daughter’s family (OPPS5) has Odie the geodog. He found the Goldidigger’s Stuffed Cache before we could. He also has two hides of his own. They are “Odie’s Cache” and “ODIE”. We’re taking care of him in June for 10 days while his family is at Disneyworld. He may hide another one then. He likes to swim and was thinking of maybe something water related Like over his head).

      I have 3 Geo- Labs. Abby, my oldest and who is my best bird hunter, is usually the one that find the GZ first. Weather it be a tree, or stump or rock. I think she smell the previous dogs or people. There is also the distitive *ClanK* when their dog tags hit an ammo can.
