EVENT INFO:

Your dog loves Nose Work, and so do you, but it's likely that you have both had some other feelings about the activity at times! Most of us get into this sport because we've heard that dogs love it, and then along the way, we get sucked in by the joy and enthusiasm our dogs exhibit when practicing this activity. If you love it so much you decide to trial in this sport, sometimes the game starts changing for you and the dog. Suddenly there are outside pressures on your teamwork - Find all the hides, don't time out, call finish at the right time - we all feel it! We spend a lot of time focusing on training the dog, and not a lot of time reflecting on how our own attitudes and biases can affect our ability to show up as the best handlers we can be.

This seminar will give you the chance to do just that. On Day 1, we will focus on ourselves, the handlers, and how our minds and bodies influence the search. On Day 2, we will discuss how to build and maintain the maximal level of joy and enthusiasm for both you and the dog as you search together. Working teams and auditors will walk away with new ways to think about the relationship and connection we build with our dogs through Nose Work, and creative exercises to solve even the trickiest of miscommunications between us.

Lunch is included, and CNWI CEUs are pending.

COST:
Full Auditor (Sat & Sun) - $275
Partial Auditor (Sat OR Sun) - $145
Working spot - SOLD OUT (waitlist open)

Classes for Sunday morning are cancelled. If you were signed up for class you should have received an email from me today; if you don't see it, please check your spam folder. The weather reports vary tremendously (between 2 and 10 inches of snow), but since the driveway is sloped, we are better safe than sorry. Hope to catch you all at a future class instead!

Sunday turned out to be a perfect day for nose work! Thanks to all who joined the travel class in Williamsport. We worked on close and converging hides, as well as search area coverage. We even got to search a boat loaded on a trailer.

Special thanks to Tara for making this awesome location available to us.

Another fabulous ORT is in the books. Many thanks to the amazing volunteers at Breakaway Action Dogs, who always put on a lovely event. It is always a pleasure to judge at their ORTs!

Congratulations to Jen and Skye! It's been such fun to be part of their spotted lanternfly search journey. Well done, team!

I'm excited to share that today Skye and I passed our Spotted Lanternfly Field Evaluation!! The FE consists of finding 3-5 hides in an 80'x80' area in 5 minutes.

Despite meeting at 7:30 am it was HOT, I had my usual nerves, and there were so many distractions (we went after 2 boy dogs who marked the area, plus there were so many dog and critter smells and a chicken coop next door!). I'm so proud of my girl working through all of that! 💓

Now we get well-deserved naps and then we can move on to practicing for real searches!

We had an amazing day for searching at nose work classes this morning. Many thanks to Tara for making this awesome location available to us. Can't wait to search here again!

Intro to K9 Nose Work classes can be hard to find. If you want to get your dog started in this fun sport, check out Amie's class in April!

Start your week off with the most fun you and your dog can have together! Perfect for senior dogs who are no longer fleet of foot, baby dogs who are fleet of attention, and all dogs in between. No previous training is required, reactive dogs are welcome, you can play it indoors or outdoors, and even turn it into a practical skill.

We ended up with a fabulous day for nose work training this morning. We spent time working in analyzing a search area and searching with a plan. Lots of interesting environmental challenges to work through as spring is waking up the woods. Thanks to all the teams who came out to search!
