Announcing a Nosework Seminar by Andrew Ramsey of Ramsey K-9 Services in August
Mark your calendars. The Dog Squad will be hosting a 4 day Seminar in Nosework taught by renowned trainer Andrew Ramsey of Ramsey K-9 on August 3, 4, 5, and 6th.
The Seminar will be limited to 12 working teams and 12 observers/auditors.
The workshop will be held at the scenic Boy Scout Camp, Camp Herms in the El Cerrito Hills near Tilden Park.
Price for working Teams will be $595 (Snacks and Lunch included)
Price for Auditing will be $275 (Snacks and Lunch included)
Early registration (before April 30, 2012) 15% Discount.
Early registration (before June 30, 2012) 10% Discount.
Andrew's lessons, seminars and classes use the same foundation training methods that are used to train Military and Law Enforcement Detection K-9's but are designed for pet dogs and handlers who want to explore the activity of Nosework for fun or competition in any of the organizations that offer it. While they are not specifically designed as a foundation for any type of professional detection work, Andrew uses the same methods so you and your dog can maximize your potential as a team. The goal of his Nosework Seminar is to engage the dog in the game of searching for a target odor and to teach the handler how to motivate, handle, read and reward the dog building a strong working partnership between the two of them.
Nosework can build confidence in a shy dog, give an active dog an appropriate and challenging outlet for its energy and help the reactive dog overcome its environmental sensitivity. Nosework strengthens the bond between dog and handler and best of all it is FUN! Sign up at www.dogsquadonlinestore.com

Here is how it will work:
Every Monday I will post a Training Problem on Facebook and will select the best solution from posts on FaceBook on the following Monday. The weekly winner will receive a Dog Squad Baseball Cap and will be entered into a Quarterly drawing for a $100 Gift Certificate redeemable at DogSquadOnlineStore.com. Weekly winners will be announced every Monday and Quarterly winners will be announced on the last day of the Quarter. Every post will receive a ticket to the Quarterly drawing. Multiple posts are OK.
