NEW!! Paws Plus Training has two Certified Nose Work Instructors (CNWI), Janie and Jim Simmons.
Janie and Jim completed a rigorous 18-month program to become fully certified as K-9 Nosework Instructors by the National
Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW). In addition to completing their CNWI training, Janie and Jim co-hosted the
first Odor Recognitiion Test for K-9 Nosework in Virginia during April. To date, 25 students have passed the ORT for Birch.
NEW!! Paws Plus Training has had four students obtain their NW1
title for K-9 Nosework. In June, Janie Simmons and her canine companion, Daisy, competed in the NW1 trial at Cornwall-on-Hudson,
NY. Daisy recieved her NW1 title after successfullly completing her searches in the interior, exterior, container and vehicle
elements. In addition, Daisy and Janie placed first and third in the team event. Another Paws Plus Training student, Jen Johnson
and her canine companion, Shadow, also competed in the NW1 trial. Jen and Shadow received their NW1 title with Pronounced
status, achieved when the canine/handler team demonstrate exceptional teamwork and technique for each of the four elements
in a NW1 trial. On New Year's weekend, Jan Dalby and Sassafras received their NW1 title during the NW1 trial in Hackettstown,
New Jersey. Janie Simmons and Zack also earned their NW1 title during New Year's Weekend. Congratulations to Janie, Daisy,
Zack, Jen, Shadow, Jan and Sassy!
This past tracking season, Paws Plus Training had 2 dog/handler teams earn their Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX)
titles. Congratulations to Karen and her two excellent tracking dogs, Kelly and Kacie, on this achievement. Paws Plus Training
also had 2 dog/handler teams earning their Tracking Dog (TD) title and 5 additional teams successfully completing/scheduled
to complete their certification tracks so they can now enter a Tracking Test. In addition, 7 dog and handler teams are ready
to enter a TDX test. Congratulations to these teams!! We look forward to working with even more dog/handler teams this Fall.
