After taking these three classes the canine team should be able to take an Odor Recognition Test and once passed try your hand at NW1. Classes are limited to 4-6 dogs. We may offer 2 Introduction to K9 Nose Work classes and drop one of the other classes depending on interest and experience level. Please e-mail Dawn so she can keep track of numbers and she will let you know if there is an opening. A check is required to hold your spot. One handler may enroll 2 dogs in a class, but will need to pay for running each dog.
Saturday class times: 9-10, 10:15-11:15, 11:30-12:30
Dates: Saturdays, June 3, 17, July 1, 22, August 5, Aug 19th.
For all classes, dogs must be in a crate or in your vehicle when not working. Only one dog working at a time. Dog reactive dogs can do this sport, but not human reactive dogs. Please use a red bandana on your dog if your dog is reactive to other dogs. This is a great communication symbol.
Bring to class: crate, 3 corrugated boxes, 6 ft leash, collar or harness and treats that dog loves, and your hungry dog.
