Christina has trained with NACSW instructor Terri Spaeth-Merrick for many years, takes Nosework workshops every year, and has taught ‘Nosework for Enrichment’ classes for fearful dogs that later could graduate back into competition level classes. Several reactive dogs have also learned NACSW Nosework in private training with Christina, improving and enriching their lives. Christina’s own dog Sunshine has achieved first place in interior NW1 and a NW1 title.
