“Online Nosework classes have been a wonderful complement to our in-person training. I became very aware of how to set up search areas and hides to train for a specific purpose - this gave me a LOT of confidence in knowing what our strengths are and what areas needed more attention. The classes provide clear direction for specific training goals, and the feedback I have received on the videos of our training sessions has been so helpful. And, I can do the work anytime and anywhere - no scheduling issues!”

“The online courses I’ve taken have been a great addition to the in-person training Mindy and I have done. I was skeptical at first; I wasn’t confident that we’d be able to learn Nosework remotely, but I found that we were able to succeed at learning new skills and honing old ones. Each week we’d cover a different skill. Nancy would send instructions on how to set the hides, we’d video our at-home searches, and share them with everyone to watch and critique.

Having to set my own hides was my biggest challenge, but over time (and with a lot of trial and error) I’ve gotten more confident (and, I hope, better). I’ve also been able to train with people from all over the country that I otherwise would never have met. I highly recommend the FYK9 Academy as adjunct or exclusive Nosework training- it’s a unique and highly rewarding experience”.
