Judith Guthrie Workshop

Judith Guthrie is returning to Bozeman for another inspirational nosework focused workshop. Judith, owner of Nose Dog Detection Services is an AKC Judge, coach, and handler. She has given numerous online seminars and classes through Scent Work University helping students worldwide become better nosework handlers. She also breeds and trains working dogs for assignments such as bomb detection dogs for TSA, search and rescue dogs for Penn Vet Working Dog Center, endangered or invasive species detection dogs for the Working Dogs for Conservation foundation and more. She has so much experience working with dogs and their noses that I can’t express how excited I am to have her back in Bozeman!

Day 1 - What Does Team Really Mean? - What is your role in the search and what is your dog's role? Understanding when to step in and when to let your dog work. This topic has an incredible amount of nuance and Judith will help you break this down into handling that you and your dog can both understand and implement in real world searches.

Day 2 - Why did you put that there?! - Understanding hide placement can super charge your dog's nose work training. Whether you’re just starting out and want to know how to set easy hides for your beginner dog or if you are an advanced team and want to set hides to expose your dog to more complicated puzzles, Judith will give you concrete ideas and examples of how to be more thoughtful with your hide placement for the training you want to achieve.
