Intro to Odor is the next step of your dog’s Nosework education! Over Intro to Nosework, your dog’s learned the game, what to expect, and how to channel their natural searching abilities into a focused game for the two of you. You both practiced in increasingly challenging environments, on and off leash, while you learned the handling skills to keep up with your pup.
Intro to Odor takes those skills and transfers them to searching for more than food. We will introduce the NACSW oils: birch, anise, and clove and use the skills your dog has already built to teach them to search for - and start to tell you about - them. While we do so, we will continue to build your handling skills so you’re growing right alongside your dog.
Intro to Odor is a 6 week virtual course, starting Thursdays 07/16, at 7pm EST
Prerequisite: Intro to K9 Nosework or Equivalent
Like playing a game with your best friend.
Like an adventure you take together.
Like building skills that matter the most.

Where virtual coaching shines
It’s common to assume in-person training is always the gold standard, but for behavior cases rooted in fear, stress, or complex household dynamics, that isn’t always true. In fact, for many behavior and manners challenges, virtual can be a better resource for you, and a better learning environment for your dog.
Virtual and asynchronous coaching allows me to see dogs in their real environments, observe patterns over time, and avoid adding the pressure of an unfamiliar person during already challenging moments. This format often leads to clearer communication, more accurate behavior assessment, and steadier progress - especially for sensitive or challenging dogs.
Work With Me
Most dogs don’t need better training.
They need the right support, at the right time, in the right format.
Available Now:
Take the first step to a better life with your dog! A Cast Guidance consultation is a focused one-on-one session where we look at what's going on, what you've tried, and what's actually getting in the way. You'll leave with a clear picture of your dog's behavior and a direction that makes sense for both of you. No guesswork, no generic advice.
Build real skills, one month at a time. Skill Tree is a rotating membership curriculum that cycles through six training categories — so your dog gets consistent practice without you having to figure out what to work on next. New content drops weekly, covering everything from regulation and communication to real-life skills and play. Drop in when it works for you, stay as long as you like. No pressure, just progress.
Unleash your dog's natural sniffing superpower — from the comfort of home! This virtual 6 week Intro to K9 Nosework class builds the foundations of the search game using food, keeping things fun and low-pressure. No prior experience needed, just a curious nose and a willing handler. Great for all ages, breeds, and temperaments!
Virtual classes, workshops, and specialty programs for every stage — foundational manners, advanced skills, and one-time deep dives offered throughout the year.
I help committed dog guardians build lives with their dogs that feel calmer, richer, and more connected — especially when behavior, big emotions, or unmet needs make daily life harder than it should be.
My work centers your dog’s emotional experience, real-world practicality, and long-term wellbeing over quick fixes or cosmetic obedience.
Living well with dogs isn’t about perfection. It’s about understanding, support, and building something that works for both of you. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
