Welcome to the Fenzi Team Nosework Titling site!
A virtual titling program that focuses on excellent training progression in the sport of Nosework! Each NW TEAM level adds complexity for the dog-handler team, presenting them with a focus on strong fundamentals from the start. Focus on achievement through good training!
Each level adds complexity in 3 areas:
Difficulty of Skills Assessed
Challenges from Distractions
Multiple Testing Locations
…To prepare you to compete in live competition in your chosen organization! Or not! It’s up to you!
How is NW TEAM Different?
Instead of focusing on finished searching skills early in the titling process (for example, full vehicle searches with multiple vehicles), NW TEAM emphasizes core fundamentals that demonstrate progress in the development of an excellent nosework team, regardless of your particular training methodology.
By gradually adding complexity, adding distractions, and changing locations, the team can complete tests and titles in a way that encourages excellent training—gradually increasing challenges while building solid fundamental skills over time in a systematic fashion.
NW TEAM is a
Video Titling
Organization
Video titling allows you to review your submissions before paying a fee — so be sure to watch your own video and carefully review it against the rules!
Submissions are reviewed and scored by a judge who will provide feedback on your submission, as well as determine whether the video is a “pass” or a “not yet.”
