“I wanted to add more training at home but was struggling to do it in a meaningful way, I ended up doing too much or not enough. For Your K9’s online academy courses have helped me learn about thoughtful hide placement and isolate skills that I was trying to train with my dog.

Over the sessions we’ve completed we were able to uncover that some of the meds my dog was on was affecting her searching and by thin slicing/isolating the skills we were working on my dog, and improved health by changing meds, improved my dog’s odor obedience and problem-solving skills.

Nancy’s class format, with individual review of the uploaded videos, is great because you get areas to work specific to you and your dog vs. generic ‘one size fits all’ and you also gain insights from the other handlers/teams to round out the knowledge”.

“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!”
