The Elemental Dog, LLC

The Elemental Dog, LLC Barb is a Certified Nose Work Instructor though the NACSW. K9 Nose Work (r) is a new, fast-growing sport for almost any dog.

She enjoys teaching K9 Nose Work(r) to dogs and handlers from around southeast Wyoming, northeast Colorado, and western Nebraska. Canine scent detection games encourage your dog to use his natural hunting and tracking abilities to locate target odors. K9 Nose Work is inspired by the work of professional detection dogs, but designed for companion dogs. Dogs first learn to search for food in boxes.

As the dog's skill and confidence grows, he will search entire rooms, exterior areas and even vehicles. Along the way, the target odors of birch oil, anise, oil, and clove oil are introduced. Only one dog works at a time in class. Because each dog works alone, fearful dogs and dog-reactive dogs can thrive in K9 Nose Work. If you have concerns with your dog's fears or behavior contact me and we can see how classes or lessons can be managed for your dog. Whether you compete in NACSW, USCSS, AKC, or UKC trials, you can learn the skills you need here.

Openings at all levels! Canine Connection puts on terrific trials and Columbus, MT is only a reasonable day's drive from the Front Range! Bonus!! CO Terri Spaeth-Merrick will be staying to do a workshop and video review on the Monday following the trial. Any workshop by Terri is worth the extra day!

I highly recommend doing the Skills Challenges! I've done them all and they are just plain fun. As a bonus, I always identify holes in our training that make us better in competition when I fix those holes. You don't need an ORT and, unless you want to submit videos for title, you don't even need to be a member of NACSW. These skills transcend venues so check it out.

Something Fun for you Noseworkers! Sally is offering a guided opportunity through the NACSW Skills Achievement Challenge 2024 at Everything Dog in Loveland. She will be setting up the hides to work through the different levels of the Challenge. This is a great chance to work with Sally and obtain NACSW titles (no ORT required).

Container searches can be challenging at any level, but even more so as teams advance through competition levels. If you'd like to tune up your container game come join us at Everything Dog in Loveland for a 3-week focused class on dog-driven container searches. This 90-minute class begins 9/23 at noon.

Regardless of your favorite competition venue, the container element is often considered the most challenging. It’s easy for each end of the leash to lose trust in the other and the team spirals down the container black hole. If you’re having trouble succeeding in container searches, or just wan...

What a fun wrap up to our 4-week Advanced Topics class on vehicle searches! Thanks to Ruth for letting us come and search her farm fleet (complete with llama and chicken audience). We had had rain and it was cool so odor was hanging low for all the dogs. Then, on the final search, it started raining again with no lightning so we kept going! Getting to train in a rain event around here is rare! Super fun class. Thanks everyone for coming out to play!
