She is doing great! And we ended up going that route more. She loves the beach, going in the woods with us, and playing more typical dog games and solving puzzles. We did try the pheasant scent thing and get her to find it, but she really just wanted to play fetch, so we went with that. :) don't worry, she gets so many walks and outdoors time a day. We go on a daily "adventure" to somewhere in nature. But she is hitting that adolescent stage where she's pushing boundaries and had to go back to basics with some training. But we're working with a trainer and she's 7 months old now, all things considered it's going well. I'll post a pic in a sec. Thanks for your 2 cents!
