Update: 8/30 - All Working Spots are full for these workshops. Audit spots are available in both sessions.

Join us on September 18, 2011 for more Advanced Nose Work training with Jean Richardson, CNWI.

Jean will be officiating the Odor Recognition Tests on Saturday and spend Sunday working with us to further our skills in this great sport.

The day will be broken into 2 four hour sessions with 10 Working & 10 Audit sessions in each.

A.M. Session - 8:30a - 12:30p

P.M. Session 1:30p - 5:30p

Due to limited Working spots 1 dog per handler/household may enter the Working sessions.  Working spot entries will be taken on first-recieved basis, we realize they will fill fast and want to accommodate as many as possible.

These sessions will work with the dogs/handlers on difficult hide scenarios indoors and outdoors. 

• Teaching a dependable alert behavior for the dogs, building drive and reliability. 
• Consistent handler skills & tips to help us be a better teammate for our dogs while working.
• How to prepare for a trial & what to expect.
• What are 'faults'? How to avoid them at a trial.

Ways to Participate

Working Participant with your dog

A great opportunity to work individually with your dog and get feedback & tips.

Dogs are worked one at a time while other dogs are resting in her/his crate until her/his turn.

Dogs must be able to stay quietly in a crate out of owner’s sight or in a properly equipped vehicle when not working.

Auditors

Auditing is a great way to take home the skills to work with your dog or bring the information back to your students. Having the opportunity to watch the various teams working and listening to the feedback is very helpful when working with your own dog.
