Welcome to The Scholarly ScentZ, LLC!

Why Train with The Scholarly ScentZ?

Having A Trainer Who Does It All

  • I am a Certified Nose Work Instructor with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (R) and have trained 100+ teams from the beginnings of the sport up to the elite levels in every organization with thousands of hours of observation of teams working in the sport.

  • I am a Certifying Official (ACO) for the Trialing Division and ORTs as well as an ORT judge with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (R). I am also a judge with the American Kennel Club, and Canine-Work and Games.

  • I am a Score Room Lead (SRL) for all levels with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (R).

  • I am constantly learning through a focus on continuing education in order to grow and develop a thoughtful curriculum for my students. I know that one methodology does not work for every dog, so I adapt how I teach to meet the needs of the team in front of me. I am required to earn continuing education credits to uphold credentialing with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (R).

  • I am an avid competitor in a variety of dog sports so I understand the demands of training and competing in a multi-sport household with multiple dogs.

  • I am an experienced trial host for the National Association of Canine Scent Work (R), The American Kennel Club, and Canine-Work and Games so I understand the nuances and challenges of trial hosting including mentorship to newer hosts and trial chairpersons.
