We also run through our class structure, the K9 Nose Work methodology and discuss your expectations.

Recording of Sessions:

The best way to learn, is to watch. And as such, we try to record your sessions.

If your session is recorded, we will make available, access to the recording, for your personal use - we don't mind if you show your mates, how awesome your dog is, but videos should not be shared on any social media platform. Video's can be found in your personal, unlisted, YouTube folder [head to the 'student notice board' to find your link - make sure you're signed into the members area to access this page!
