AKC Scent Work: Masters Trial Prep Course Instructor Judith Guthrie Are you looking for ways to be more confident when tackling the AKC Scent Work Masters classes? Then this course is for you!

Are you in AKC Masters or moving up to Masters soon? Then this course is for you. In this course, Judith will cover the skills, tools, and techniques that will allow you to confidently thrive and have a blast in Masters as opposed to the commonplace uncertainty and questioning feeling many competitors experience.

Judith will discuss the new challenges posed by the jump to Masters, the skills, tools and techniques to help you thrive and ways these apply all of this to the four elements (Interiors, Exteriors, Containers and Buried). You will learn how to bring these skills together, and how these will also apply toward your journey into Detective and beyond.
