Enhance scent work skills with Drop In Advanced Learning sessions at Alpha & Omega Working Dogs, designed for teams that cannot commit to a multi-week course or that have completed intermediate training, online work, training with another provider, or an NACSW Odor Recognition Test and want to keep progressing. Dogs must already be imprinted on Birch, Anise, and Clove before attending. If prior training was completed elsewhere or independently, an evaluation can be arranged before or alongside a first visit. Attendance is coordinated in advance and spots are limited, with small groups of roughly five to six teams to help keep working time balanced. If capacity has been reached, drop-in attendance is not available for that session. This format offers flexibility for occasional tune ups or steady weekly practice, and private one-on-one lessons can be scheduled as needed. The drop-in fee is $50 per session. Auditing without a dog is available for $20 per visit. For curriculum details or to arrange a spot, contact Integrity Nose Worx through Facebook Messenger or Instagram, call or text 609-694-7642, or email integritynoseworx@gmail.com.
