Class Descriptions
Classes are 90 minutes unless otherwise noted. They may be proportionally shorter if not full.
Nose Work:
Four Pillars - For brand new dogs and advanced dogs maintaining their skills, this class focuses on the dog's nose work skills - the Four Pillars of Nose Work (hunt drive, independence, problem solving, and confidence). This class is recommended for beginners before taking the Patterns and Handling class (email me if you need a schedule-based exception).
Patterns and Handling - This class focuses on the skills the handler needs in nose work, including mechanical skills (leash handling, footwork, reinforcement timing and placement), reading your dog, and search strategies.
Elite - This class focuses on skills specifically needed when trialing in Elite and Summit (or Detective). Usually dogs should have at least one NW3 title to participate in this class. Please contact me directly for exceptions.
For all classes: Auditing spots are non-working - you may observe and ask questions.
