I attended a K9 Nosework seminar in Oregon yesterday. I audited the NW2 session and learned so much! The instruction was given by Ron Gaunt, the NACSW founder, and Shelly Smith.
I learned more about dog handling than I could ever begin to write about.
The non-dog stuff I learned....
- always take sunscreen, a wide brimmed hat, and sunglasses
- take a hair tie for windy days
- take a chair
- wear comfortable shoes
- wear pants with lots of pockets; cargo pants would be great
- bring snacks and a water bottle
- it would be easier to pack a lunch than going to get something
- wear a watch
