Episode 19: Learning about K-9 Nose Work with Kristina Leipzig, Part 1
Episode description
This week we're talking to one of the leading K9 Nose Work experts, Kristina Leipzig, about this growing sport! This sport is a less training-intensive option for working with your dogs, and the competitions are set up nicely for those dogs that might be more reactive and less able to work in more complex environments like agility or flyball.
Listen in to hear more about what this sport is and how you can get started. Part 1 starts now!
We talked through some of the sanctioning bodies where you can get involved in K9 Nose Work or Scent Work, as it is otherwise known:
NACSW: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CANINE SCENT WORK
USCSS: UNITED STATES CANINE SCENT SPORTS
UKC: UNITED KENNEL CLUB
AKC: AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB SCENT WORK
