Musical Hides - Interior Search on Chairs

Start with 3-6 chairs and place the hide on one chair.  Cue your dog to search and after rewarding, remove a cold chair and move the hot chair to another location, keeping the hide in the same location.

If you want to change your hide location you can remove the hot chair and place the hide on another chair. Some dogs will pick up on lingering odor if you leave the old hot chair in the room or move the hide around on the same chair.

So either keep the hide in one place on one chair and just move the chair and remove a cold chair -or- remove each "hot" chair and place the hide in a new place on a cold chair.

​You can wipe down the chairs when done with any kind of solution: anti-bacterial wipes, Natures Miracle, soap and water or white vinegar diluted with water (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water).

You can move the chairs closer together or further apart.

Continue removing a chair until you are down to one chair to search. This version of the game progressively makes it easier at the end, which is a good way to end!
