NOSEWORK – workshops for beginners and training for advanced teams with Olga Nylec at PSYJAŹNIA
About the event
Do you want to start exploring nosework and see how your dog works with their nose?
Or maybe you’re already training but have stalled at some stage and don’t know how to move forward or are struggling with something?
We invite you to introductory workshops for beginner teams and individual trainings for intermediate and advanced teams.
Workshops for beginners
Who are the workshops for?
- for handlers and dogs who have not yet had contact with nosework
- for people who want to teach their dog scent work in a calm and understandable way

Nosework is a sport that:
- builds the dog’s confidence
