NOSEWORK CLASSES
Beginning Nosework - Searching for odor and focused response
Are you ready to train for one of the hottest new dog sports? In Beginning Nosework you will train your dog to find three odors (birch, anise, and clove), search with drive, and offer a focused response to alert you to their find. You will learn to read your dog as they search, and your dog will develop confidence as they drive the work. Each dog works one at a time, so even shy, and dog reactive dogs can train in a safe, comfortable environment. Dogs will need to be able to stay in a crate, or your vehicle, in between work. Beginning Nosework class runs six sessions, and is limited to six dogs. Classes are set to run 1 1/2 hours, however, if there are four dogs or fewer in a session, class will be one hour long. Six sessions for $150.00
(Once you reserve your spot, there will be no refunds unless your spot can be filled by another team. There are no official "Make ups" for missed classes.)
NEXT LEVEL BEGINNING NOSEWORK - Next Level continues the work began in Beginning Nosework. Teams will continue to work on obedience to odor, focused response, and will be introduced to search elements such as Interior, Exterior, Container, Buried, and Vehicle searches. Pre-requisite is completion of the Beginning Nosework class.
The Next Level sessions will be held on the same day of the week and times as the prior Beginning Nosework classes. Priority is given to students keeping their day and time slot they previously attended.
(Once you reserve your spot, there will be no refunds unless your spot can be filled by another team. There are no official "Make-ups," or refunds for missed classes.)

NOSEWORK DROP IN CLASSES
Once you have completed two six-week sessions at K9You, or for new students, your dog is trained on target odors and can search basic elements, you are welcome to participate in our drop in classes. Drop ins are by level and will work to continue to develop teams in the sport of nosework. If you are not sure which class is appropriate for your team, feel free to contact us for direction. Nosework Drop In Classes are $30.00 per dog, for each drop in.
SCHEDULING FOR NOSEWORK DROP IN CLASSES IS NOW THROUGH A SCHEDULER - CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO RESERVE YOUR SPOTS! MAKE SURE TO RESERVE A SPOT FOR EACH DOG YOU ARE BRINGING! IF YOU ONLY RESERVE ONE SPOT THE ASSUMPTION IS YOU ARE RUNNING ONLY ONE DOG.
(Reservations are required at least 48 hours in advance; we have limited spaces and need to stay at our limits in order to give you and your dog the time and training at the level you expect at K9You. Cancellations made less than 48 hours prior to class will not be refunded.) We reserve the right to cancel classes for low attendance. Minimum number for a class is THREE dogs. Times listed are for full classes; a class that is not full will likely end earlier than the listed time, though the same number of searches/work will be completed. When reserving your class below you will be paying at the same time through PayPal.

Private Lessons
Private lessons are available for more advanced nosework, trial preparation, and advancing skills, or if you just wish to have a lesson focused only on you and your dog. Privates are also appropriate for dogs trained in nosework who are having particular issues, whether it be lack of focused response, environmental issues, or trialing issues. Private lessons are $85.00 per hour. A shared lesson for two handlers, or a longer lesson for a handler with multiple dogs, can be had for $110.00 for 1 1/2 hours. (Limit to a shared lesson is two handlers and three dogs for 1 1/2 hours, for a longer private, contact us for a quote.) Contact us for information on available scheduling. Prices listed are for private sessions at our Hollister site. Lessons at an off site location may incur a travel fee. Contact us for more information.
