Looking forward to this seminar! Megan is a CO and a CNWI, and her teaching style is supportive and kind. Hope to see some of you there!

“This seminar is for anyone who has ever felt feelings during or after a Nose Work trial…”
– Megan Wallace

Let’s be honest: the search isn’t always smooth, and the emotions aren’t always easy. Pressure. Frustration. Disappointment. Overthinking. And yes—our dogs feel it too.

✨ The Emotional Nose Work Team seminar is your chance to take a breath and regroup.

Learn what you can control, what you can’t, and how to support your dog with more clarity, connection, and compassion—no matter what level you trial at.

🌀 Day 1 – Focus on YOU, the handler
🐾 Day 2 – Explore your DOG’s role in the emotional search dynamic
Attend one or both days!

We lucked out and the rain mostly held off this morning for some nose work vehicle searches. Thanks to all the teams who came out to play today!

We had a beautiful day for a nose work class today, with lots of good discussion about how to tackle exterior searches. Thanks to all who attended!

Special additional thanks go to Alyse Mineroff for taking some lovely photos of the dogs in the second class. She also captured some great images of Kyber searching after classes concluded, like this one of him wrapping around the end of a picnic bench just before alerting on a hide below it.

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.
