I had no idea about this sport and how to teach it. It is a perfect introduction with ample demonstrations with different dogs that helps you walk through the different stages.

This is a great training video, Andrew is a very talented trainer, and he makes learning easy & fun for both human and dog :) I wish I could have rated it a 4.5, but the option wasn't given. Suggestions to those of you that are sitting on the edge of the "but it's kinda expensive" fence: BUY IT, buy at least the on-demand version. It's yours for 5 years and you will get more than your money's worth of information! As a trainer, I feel LB DVDs are the gift of training knowledge. A gift that keeps on giving, all you have to do is keep pressing the play button. Watch Ed's videos over and over again, that's the idea.

This vid answered all of my questions and hesitations about exactly where to begin in Nosework. The how-to's of teaching Nosework to ANY DOG (the video even addresses where to begin with shy & reserved dogs) is well addressed in the first hour, I almost caught myself falling asleep with the "yea, yea, yea we know!" boring details covered in the first hour. The meat and potatoes are covered in the 2nd hour, the 3rd hour will cover more finishing details of nosework.

If I had to go back and do it over again, I would have only watched this video in 1/3's because the human has far more to learn than the dog! So, watch it in 1/3's, take a short review or jot down some quick notes at the end of the hour, and by the time you're done watching, you'll be more than ready to teach literally ANY dog the fun sport of Nosework!

My dog is completely hooked on Nosework! I have a 6 year old adopted terrier mix and he has never been excited about doing any kind of activity before. A friend of mine suggested Nosework for him and gave me your site.

After just a couple of sessions, Charlie was completely hooked and excited to work with me! This DVD is so easy to follow and understand that training has been a breeze.

I have to admit, I bought some other DVDs from other companies thinking I could expand on Charlie's training, but honestly, they were difficult to follow and did not contain nearly as much information as this one. Those "other" DVDs are now buried in the back of the cabinet while yours is front and center in case I need to re-watch a section.

Thank you for a quality product and helping me get my grumpy little terrier excited about working!!
