Next session is Saturday, 8/24.

We welcome you to join us to learn new ways to communicate with your dog in the sport of nose work. We will learn new skills and practice them under the direction of Don Blair, a United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) judge in tracking, detection, obedience, and protection. Each monthly seminar includes both lecture and hands on application of principles that will assist you in learning how to excel in training and competition.
