The intermediary class between Introductions and our ongoing Advanced group who meet weekly. Next Steps takes the teams who have started some nosework skills – either with us, or elsewhere, and adds more challenges as they move to a confident alert response. Over 3 sessions we introduce  the elements encountered in “real-life” and competitive scent sports including exteriors, interiors and vehicles – while improving each team’s ability to solve the searching problems they are set. Classes can be modified to suit the individual teams needs – so being odour only is not a pre-requisite to join this level.
