K9 NOSE WORK CLASSES
Journey Nose Work, LLC offers classes in Fort Collins and Arvada, Colorado.
We follow the philosophy of National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) in teaching the Canine and Handler how to search. We start teaching the canine to hunt on food (primary) and introduce all search elements and complex problems before introducing a target odor. By doing this, the canine is able to build self confidence and independence in the search areas which will make the team more successful as the search problems get more complex.
INTRODUCTION TO K9 NOSE WORK
At this time, I am not offering another Introduction to K9 Nose Work. Please feel free to put yourself on the waitlist and I will reach out when I start my next class.
Over this first 6 week class, we will introduce your dog to the art of hunting, boxes and the “primary reward." Primary reward gives your dog the opportunity to find food without handler involvement and will build canine confidence.
Currently, I am not offering any new classes. Fill out the form with your information and I will put you on a waiting list.
INTRODUCTION TO VEHICLES AND EXTERIORS
6 weeks in duration. This class will build on fundamentals taught during the Introduction to Nose Work. We will be introducing the search of vehicles and exterior areas. Class is taught on primary (food); not odor.
Currently, I am not offering any new classes. Fill out the form with your information and I will put you on a waiting list.
