Why, Stacy’s Mini Aussie, went from not being able to search 3 boxes in his front yard to earning Overall Pronounced at his NW2. His transformation is nothing short of amazing, and it’s entirely possible to replicate. In this Podcast, Stacy Barnett will talk about how to instill Confidence in the Nosework dog through careful training and trialing strategies.
Loved this podcast. Thank you! Your webinars, podcasts, and seminars have been instrumental in our success in getting our NW1 on the first try.
Fantastic!!! Congrats on your NW1! 🙂
This helped so
Much
Thank you so much for this, I have a level 2 trial coming up again. I’m working a ex street dog, hound X, with low confidence and is very environmental. If we get one or two good searches I’m happy, it’s step by step. So completely different to my Mastiff Labrador X rescue, great confidence, could be motivated by the tiniest food treat to search all day. Thank you for the excellent explanation of the difference.
Good luck at your trial! One search at a time!!
Stacy, you are so generous with your time, knowledge, and experience. Thank you!
I am so happy for and proud of you and Why! Your path with Why is almost a carbon-copy of Augie’s and my journey. I never thought he could compete and we’ve had our ups and downs as he has taught me where he needed more support and where we, as a team, needed to go slower. He just earned his NW2 in Denver after a four or five year journey. I no longer worry specifically about titles with any dog, but especially not with him. My goal for every trial for him is an all-day loose and happy dog. He still is happiest in our van, but he can put himself out there now in a way that he couldn’t even two years ago. Cheers to Team Why from Team Augie!
