[nagdu] Too much Sniffing

There is a collar that remains higher on the dog's neck?  How didn't I
know about this when my dog was still working?  I was going to
recommend a high collar correction as well.  With Brie, I only had to
give a lighter high collar correction, and that did the trick for
sniffing when nothing else worked.  I am sure you are doing this, but
praise him for leaving it when he is sniffing and you tell him to do
so.  If there are places where he usually sniffs, you can say leave it
before or reward him before going past it, and if he does not sniff,
have a good old party.  Lol  This also used to work with Brie, who
loved to sniff, especially people.
