Eligibililty:

Teams that are actively competing or preparing to compete in NACSW or AKC Scentwork venues.

Dogs should be hunting for all 3 NACSW odors (birch, anise, clove).

This class will build skills needed to successfully compete at all levels. We will be working mostly with the Container and Interior elements. We will cover both NACSW and AKC style searches and discuss the differences in hide placements and rules specific to each organization. The curriculum will be tailored to the needs of the participating teams.

About the Instructor:

She has been teaching Nosework classes in Staunton, Waynesboro and Harrisonburg for several years, and she has helped her students achieve advanced titles in both NACSW and AKC venues. She is just starting the competition journey again with her 2 year old SportMix Wafel.
