Michael and Natalie have been deeply involved in K9 Nose Work since 2009. They quickly developed a passion for competition and both became Certified Nose Work Instructors. Collectively, they have trialed 18 dogs across a variety of breeds. They are also NACSW Certifying Officials and Judges, and are Judges for other venues as well.
For over a decade, Michael and Natalie have utilized games to help nose work teams manage competition stress. They believe that games are an extremely effective way to highlight and quickly incentivize new skills.
Michael and Natalie live in the Greater Saint Louis area with their six dogs and two cats.
