I’m using the hunting flair, but this is literally on our daily walks. We’re not hunting truffles, she has NEVER been trained (she’s a stray found on the side of the road about 11 years ago). I don’t know if she’s always done this and I haven’t noticed (she likes to eat them), but once I did notice I praised her extensively. My pup is a dog who responds to praise like an addict. I’ve accidentally praised her for things before and she will now not stop doing them because of the ONE TIME she got an endorphin rush from my response. The problem is that I first noticed she had found a truffle yesterday and praised her like the good girl she is. Now on our walks (three times a day, usually, in our back woods) hunting truffles is ALL she wants to do. I wouldn’t mind except she keeps finding them! I have five white truffles, the largest being golf ball sized, and while I love truffle flavor I don’t want to waste these. Already have ordered a very light oil to make some truffle oil, and plan to make a compound butter, but I don’t know how else to preserve these. I’m also concerned that they’re too early to be unearthed. If I get a bucket of the same soil they’re growing in, can I just rebury them? I’d prefer to leave them where they are, but she’d just unearth them on our next walk, tail wagging furiously and so sweetly proud. (Dog tax included) to r/foraging |
