Your NETC Board has been busy!
We have submitted our application to the
AKC for advancement to “A” level status. We
should hear from them any day now whether
they have given us approval. We then will
need to hold two “A” conformation matches
and one “A” match for each performance
discipline that we wish to be approved in. So
progress is being made. For those of you
that might be interested in looking at them, I
will bring to our next events the club‟s copies
of our applications for both “B” and “A” status
that we have submitted to the AKC. They
provide an interesting history of the club.
We also have two activities coming up soon,
an Earthdog Training Day for members and
friends on October 22nd, and a Nose Work
Seminar on November 5th. I hope many of
you will be able to attend. Remember that
space for dogs is limited in the Nose Work
Seminar, so don‟t delay in sending in your
entry.
I look forward to seeing you soon and
playing with our terriers!

Invites You to
An Introduction to K9 Nose Work
With Carolyn Barney, CNWI (certified nose work instructor
w/NACSW)
On November 5, 2011 at 1:00 pm
At the Dogs Learning Center
577 Main St., Hudson, MA
What is K9 Nose Work? (From www.NACSW.net)
K9 Nose Work is a great outlet for dogs of ALL types. Nose Work is a fun
way to let your dog be a dog while you have great fun watching. Nose
Work often benefits shy & fearful dogs and is open to dogs that are
reactive near other dogs. FUN and Easy to practice and wear out your
dog‟s brain and body!
K9 Nose Work is the specific sport created and sanctioned by
the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW). This
sport was inspired by the training methodology of detection K9s
and borrows elements of that training for recreation. The terms
nose work, fun nose work, scent work, search work are all
commonly used references to describe any activity where the
dog is using its nose to locate a target scent or odor. K9 Nose
Work is the term that defines this detection inspired sport that
has evolved from the pursuit of many dogs (with their handlers)
to practice nose work and have fun.
Come and find out what the fun is all about! Carolyn will give a
demonstration and explanation of Nose Work. This will be followed by a
chance for your dogs to try it out.
Carolyn Barney has been training and doing behavior work, and competing and titling dogs
for over 28 years in obedience, conformation, tracking, earth dog and k9 nose work.
Carolyn is now a CNWI (certified nose work instructor for the NACSW National Association of
Canine Scent Work).
For the past 16 years she has concentrated on agility, titling multiple dogs. Her current
competitive agility dog, Parson Russell Terrier, "Steiff", has completed his USDAA ADCH title,
AKC MACH, NADAC NA, NAJ, NAG, and his ME. He has qualified for the AKC and USDAA
Nationals each year since 2002 and competed in a number of national events. Steiff now has
his Nose Work Level 1 title and is prepping for level 2 competition. Kodi & Breezy, Carolyn‟s
Border collies are in training and competing in agility and playing with herding and nose work
and having a blast!
Along with her training and behavior work, Carolyn wrote Clicker Basics for Dogs and Puppies
and has another agility foundation book on the way for Clean Run Productions.
Carolyn also has available from Clean Run Instructor Conference, 2 DVD‟s, one on Agility
Foundation and one on Scaredy Dogs. Carolyn co-taught two canine cognition/behavior
courses at Harvard University Extension School with Bruce Blumberg PhD, lectures to dog
trainers occasionally and works as a behavior consultant for the MSPCA, Nevins Farm,
providing Reactive Dog Training classes and behavior therapy for shelter dogs and their
families. Carolyn also offers the Karen Pryor Academy Clicker Training program at the Dogs
Learning Center. www.dogslearningcenter.com.
