“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”.

“Nancy Reyes has really got the Online Nosework classes fine-tuned. The combination of succinct lessons with great written instructions and accompanying videos coupled with a group Zoom Session to review my dogs at work really hit the mark for us! Clooney, Gryffindor and I give her three paws up!”
