Meet Silke Wittig

Bio

Silke was introduced to K9 Nose Work® in 2010 and became one of first two Certified Nose Work Instructors (CNWI™) in PA in 2011. In addition to instructing group classes, private sessions, coaching clinics and offering video reviews, Silke has hosted multiple NACSW™-sanctioned ORTs, trials and workshops. She has taught at several K9NW camps hosted by Dogs of Course and is a webinar presenter for the K9 Nose Work® Education Division and Dogs of Course Virtual Nose Work Camp. Silke was an instructor at the Training Fest West in 2023. To stay current on her K9NW education, she revisits the CNWI training and attends workshops, webinars and coaching days on a regular basis.

In 2024, Silke decided to become a Certified Mental Management Coach (level II), after immersing herself in the program since 2022 and seeing its far-reaching and consistent results in her nose work competition performance.

Silke is a Supervising Certifying Official and Judge for NACSW™-approved trials and ORTs and is involved in various admin projects for the NACSW trial and the K9 Nose Work® Education Department.

Silke loves to work on all aspects of this great dog sport while making sure that both ends of the leash have fun in a safe environment! She has a soft spot for shelter dogs and introduced K9NW to several local shelters, two of which have now included it in their regular canine enrichment program.

Silke is a certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant and has been running HeRo Canine Consulting LLC, a successful dog training and behavior consulting business since 2006, but focuses solely on K9 Nose Work® and Mental Management® now.

She currently competes with her 10-year-old Pit Bull Snap in NACSW™ nose work competitions at Elite level and is an avid lover of the activity and sport of K9 Nose Work®.
