These 6-week class begin with introducing dogs and their humans to the sport and methodology of K9 Nose Work®. Dogs start by searching for their favorite food or toy reward hidden in a variety of environments, increasing the challenges and adding new search skills as the dog progresses.
As dogs progress, they learn the target odors of Birch, Anise, and Clove and hone their skills and love for nose work.

Are you wanting to find out what nosework is all about? A seasoned competitor wanting to troubleshoot challenges? Is your favorite group class already sold out? Private lessons are a perfect opportunity to tailor guidance exactly to your needs!

• Lessons can be shared by multiple dogs and/or handlers.

• Lessons can be done at your home or another agreed upon location.

Does your dog have some behaviors you don’t love? Do you have a new dog and want to get them started off on the right paw? Have you had dogs your whole life but this one is leaving you scratching your head?

I specialize in reactive and sensitive dogs, especially when it comes to play.

Adolescent dogs can get very rowdy fast, which often makes things unpleasant for other humans and dogs. I’ll help your dog learn to read the room and channel that energy.

Sensitive dogs can be easily overwhelmed by play. We’ll learn some strategies to help them come out of their shells and feel more confident.

Private training is a great option for both you and your pup to learn at your own pace, develop more positive behaviors, and build an even stronger bond together!
