What’s the crack with this?  Is it hide and seek for dugs?

That's the general idea, more or less.

The dog has to take the scent of a person either from an article (gloves or a hat or something  similar) or from the environment (like off a door handle or a wall they've been sitting on) and then follow their scent to find them. As the dog gets experience, the "trails" they're expected to complete get more challenging. So, the missing person might hide in a group of people and the dog has to pick them out, or they might jump up into a tree or onto a wall. 

Morse is working towards his first assessment atm. He's covered taking scent from novel items, navigating junctions and working through distractions.

Sounds like good brain exercise.  

Good luck on the first assessment.
