Hanna Fushihara runs Hot Fuzz Dog Training as well as Nosework Cats from her home in New York's Hudson Valley. She has been training dogs for more than 10 years and began teaching canine nosework in 2018. She reached the NW3-Elite title level competing with her pit bull, Derek, before he passed away. Hanna started developing her own ideas on how to play nosework with her cats in the spring of 2020 during the start of the pandemic, making adjustments to how she played nosework with dogs so that her cats would find the activity fun, challenging and motivating. She’s been adding her imaginative, artful skills and humor to the mix with her online Nosework Cats class to make it unique and her own. https://www.hotfuzzdogtraining.com/https://www.noseworkcats.com/ Episode Resources This is a really specific EASY video that I've given to lots of people in and out of shelters as a way to start.
