NW120: Introduction to NW Search Elements
This course picks up where NW101 left off! This course also can be used as a refresher for introducing the search elements. Our method is effective on all types of dogs, from insecure and unfocused dogs to highly driven and intense workers. The proof is in the pudding; dogs going through only one or two levels of our courses are earning their ORT and NW titles in record time! Even if your dog has failed using other methods, we can help you succeed! It comes down to building a strong foundation built on 4 Cs: Criterira, Consistency, Clarity, and Clean Loops/Mechanics.
This is the second nosework course I have taken with Fenzi. Both courses were excellent. Material was useful, practical, detailed and thorough. I have taken other Nosework courses before. None have come anywhere near to matching the quality of the Fenzi courses and the credentials, obvious expertise and supportiveness of the course leaders.

I am not able to take local classes because of my work schedule, so tried the online Nosework class for the first time. It is a super value; I got more from this 6 week auditing than I did from the prior 6 months of in person classes. I feel that my dog and I are really well prepared for our first trial next month.
NW325: Purposeful Drills for Progressing Skills
You’ve probably heard this before … that training should be done with purpose and not just going through the motions. There is power in purposeful training! When we have purpose, we are energized, invested and focused! If we just go through the motions, we miss a lot of the benefits of a training session.
It’s time to up the challenge and explore creative ways to set hides and set up our search areas.
Details will be provided for each drill – purpose (why), how to set up, what to expect and some boundaries/rules for each search! Setups will range from straight forward to more challenging! The intent of the drills will be to expose teams to new and different setups so that our dogs learn to work through different scent puzzles and challenges.
This class was fantastic — really good descriptions for setups and explanations for why these set ups would help teams progress. This class was exactly what I felt like I was missing with respect to more advanced nosework training and I’m thrilled that it exceeded my (very high!) expectations. Have taken several classes with Julie and she’s wonderful – very supportive and constructive in her feedback!
Julie has the best teaching style for you to understand the concepts and how to execute them. She is one of your best Nosework instructors for ALL levels of trainers! I keep coming back with my tiny dogs.

This course definitely helped us focus in on areas that we needed to be challenged by in order to make progress in our training. I feel like nothing is too hard for us-not because we’ve mastered everything, but because Julie breaks down our search challenges and provides excellent drills for the next level. I would take any class Julie offers as she is a phenomenal instructor with strong communication skills. She is rooting for all her teams and provides perfect support to help all ranges of skills. I HIGHLY recommend this to all NW teams!
