“Christie was outstanding in every way.” – David Wilson with Amarone, reviewing his Private Nose Work Lesson with Christie Vereide

“Christie was very accommodating to make our dog successful” – MyLinda A. with Filly reviewing their K9 Nose Work class with Christie Veriede

“I loved this class! Learning Nose Work was so fun! The location in Eagan was perfect. I like the face that there aren’t other classes going on in the same facility like other schools, and I really love that the class sizes are small.

My dog is very skittish and this class increased her confidence level. She hasn’t been in any classes for 6 years and I could tell she LOVED it!

Christie was great! She provided individual feedback based on the needs of our dogs. She is so positive and very supportive. I’m looking forward to her next nosework class!!” – Kim B. and their Coonhound, Chloe, reviewing their K9 Nose Work class with Christie Vereide

“Christie did such a great job in class and in her follow-up communication. Her experience showed and she provided organized and thorough follow-up information that I was able to follow along in the class even though I had to miss a couple due to illness… well, and then we had to stop due to Covid. But I still felt like I received a great class.” – Heidi F. and their Labrador Retriever mix, Kacy, reviewing their K9 Nose Work class with Christie Vereide

“Nice start for training my dog. Gave him some great behaviors as a result; including empowerment and bravery. Just a great trainer. She was knowledgeable and creative. She enjoyed my dog and wanted him to do his best. She would coach and instruct. She would come up with new ways to encourage him to put his face in a box. Always pleasant and quick to laugh. Kind. Just great! She provided a book recommendation. Appreciated her knowledge. I enjoyed the Nose Work class. I would take another class with Christie.” – Michele D. with her Shih Tzu, Java, reviewing their K9 Nose Work class with Christie Vereide

“This was such a fun class. Can’t wait to take another one. Love the challenge of new places to search. Christie always had something interesting for us to search. We learned to get more comfortable with various places to search. Christie is an excellent trainer. Insightful about what each team needs.” – LeAnn M. with her Shiba Inu, Crush, reviewing their Traveling Nose Work class with Christie Vereide

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from the class, but I really enjoyed it! Cris worked at my dog’s pace and was there to support us. Because she guided us to set Kinlee up for success, she did amazing by the second week and loved the game of nosework! Made the class fun and had us try new things.” – Kassidy M. and her dog, Kinlee, reviewing their Introduction to K9 Nose Work lessons with Christie Vereide

“She was kind, polite, and knowledgeable. The class content was great. My dog learned a lot, and I’m confident now in my own abilities to teach Nose Work outside of the class setting. I think the content was approachable, clear, and effective.” – Alexandra E. with her Hound mix, Lizzie, reviewing K9 Nose Work with Christie Vereide

“Christie was amazing. She took things at a pace that my dog was very successful at, and was supportive of not only my dog, but my dog and myself as a team.

The work that you all do is incredible and my dogs are always comfortable in the environment offered.” – Isabelle R. and her Border Collie, Campbell, reviewing their K9 Nose Work class with Christie Vereide
