There is always so much good information in Kelly's courses, and our Nosework Dogs are Canine Athlectes!

Have you thought into what individual needs your canine star athlete has? Or just fed them what your other dogs get? Diet can have a huge impact on performance from being able to build muscle, endurance over a day, nutrient absorption, skin and gut issues that can impact behaviour, and more.

Looking at nutrition is one small part of my upcoming FDSA class in the upcoming June Term: Caring for your Star Athlete.

Home after a weekend away nosework trialing at SSANZ trials hosted by Horowhenua DTC..
Proud of my dogs..on Saturday Flossy found all 4 hides in her first ever novice trial and Glitch got his first Advanced iqualfying certificate.
Didn't trial on Sunday as was judging..had some awesome search areas to use and saw some beautiful teamwork.
Loved my handmade thank you card from Janine.

I"m not really good at social media stuff...but here's a bit of a report of the SSANZ Novice trial I organised in Ngatea last month..
A big thank you to all those who supported this trial, I hope even if you didn’t qualify that you enjoyed the day and hopefully got to check out what Ngatea can offer.
Given that it was a single novice it was relatively straightforward to organise, and Ngatea Rugby and Sports Club had again allowed me the use of the clubrooms.
I had again awesome sponsorship from Superior Pet Food . They have supported my fundraising for Dementia Waikato every time I have asked, and all teams went away with some of their products. Sarah from Canine NZ kindly donated scent kits for judges choices and Adele Williams turned up on the day with Zeal Pet Milk for all the teams.
The day was very hot and humid and even with running the exterior first by the end of the day the teams were tired. I don’t think I will plan on running trials again in January unless I can find a venue that has plenty of shade!
Sam Murdie and I shared the judging, and we ran it two searches at a time, then a lunch break before running the last two searches.
The interior search was interesting to watch as the environmental conditions showed how quickly odour can move as seen by where the dogs were first encountering odour and how they worked through it to find the higher concentration.
As it was just the single novice, we started a bit later in the morning then I normally do, so that those that travelled didn’t have such an early start to get there.
I was fortunate enough to have a number of people offer to help, a couple of new handlers, Bernie and Trish whom had been coming to my classes who wanted to see what a trial actually involved, some experienced handlers, Adele and Christine, that are also SSANZ trainee judges keen to do some stewarding , a trainee judge Kimberlea who was doing some probationary judging, and Evelyn and Sarah videoed the searches. And as always some of the handlers pitched in to help with marshalling.
Sue Andreson with Tango took out Best Overall, Container and Interior, Linda Loughin with Finn took out Runner up and Exterior, and Jamie Savage and Jed took out the Vehicle. These were done on points and time.
Our judges’ choices were Tony Barrett with Tess for Vehicle, Supreet Chadha with Browse for Container, Sue Gillion with Paint for Interior and Jamie Savage with Jed for Exterior.
We had 12 teams qualify, Clare with Ella, Jamie with Jed, Joanna with Nyx, Laura with Clover (possibly the youngest dog to qualify?) Linda with Finn, Matilda with Chino, Shona with Loki, Sue with Tango, Sue with Paint, Supreet with Browse, Susie with Evie, and Tony with Tess.
Was lovely to see so many new teams doing and I look forward to seeing you all again at my next trial.

It's not to late to sign up for this but you'ld better be fast!
I highly recommend Kelly in regard to fitness work and she delivers way more then expected in her online courses.
And..Fenzi workshops are exceptionally good value..
I'm lucky enough to train with Kelly personally but I've signed up for it and am looking forward to it..

I hear quite often from newer nosework handlers that "my dog lied to me" I try to explain that our dogs don't lie..that there are many reasons we call alert when we shouldn't of..Stacy covers quite a few of these in this blog.scentsabilitiesnw.com/blog/the-five-types-of-false-alert/

The trials she is talking about are NASCW trials in the United States.

Enjoy the blog and learn as well...
