K9 Bennett
When the dogs want more searches, you know your trial was a huge success! ‘Yes!’ ‘Search!’ ‘Now!’ - we couldn’t agree more Bennett. 😃 Thank you to everyone who helped pull off the largest nosework event we’ve ever had. The volunteers, the judges and the competitors were all amazing. Handler Kathrina Petersen
K9 Veronica, body language!
Super opportunity to watch lots of JND (just noticeable difference) as Veronica works through the odor. What the dog displays while following scent is too often overlooked or unnoticed by handlers. The final response and pin pointing the odor is the goal, but the body language in front of it is what gets you there. Rockin’ It Workshop. K9 Veronica. Handler MWK9 Trainer Sara Eaton

Rockin’ It Workshop! Jan 27/28
Scent cones and body language-building the body language and the team!
We never get tired of watching this sliding head turn from K9 Dash(Now Zeke)! The video discussion in this workshop includes unique videos that we have personally gathered over many years showing professional and sport dogs catching and following odor. Lots of practical work for your dog also.
We know how you feel, Moose. 🥶 Who else can relate?
Stay safe, everyone!

This workshop will show you how to understand your dog's scent detection behaviors. Some dogs give huge body language while others are more subtle. But ALL dogs are readable! There will be videos and discussion of scent detection behavior of all types of dogs Saturday morning-this one of kind collection of video clips is invaluable! The rest of the workshop will be practical work with the dogs. By the end of the weekend you will have the tools to read the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) that is your dog's 'tell' that he has discovered a scent cone. Through specifically designed exercises both handler and dog will gain skills at navigating scent into source. And the JND gets more definite with practice!
When the scent cone reaches out and grabs ya! K9 Sabrina
