Please join me in congratulating our instructor, Dr Sarah, on this huge accomplishment!

Our next round of Odor classes are coming soon. You and your dog definitely want to take her classes.

I am thrilled to announce that I am now a Certified Nose Work Instructor through the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW)!

Requirements for this certification included 8 days of direct training, plus at least 40 teaching hours of the NACSW curriculum and 40 hours of observation of searching dogs (I had over 200 observation hours!).

I am honored to join other great instructors in teaching this fun activity. Check out my website to get your dog started: https://breninbehavior.com/scent-work
