I felt the course is a comprehensive dive into so many factors that will influence success in Detective. I am glad to have it in my library as a resource to review.

★★★★★
Laurel was comprehensive in the topics she covered, and offered specific training ideas for odor challenges that could be seen at the upper levels of competition. Terrific seminar.

Rachel H. Super Sniffers: Preparing for Detective, Elite & Summit Competition Seminar

★★★★★
I particularly loved breaking down the various types of hides/puzzles and the information for how to start each, move up in difficulty and move back down in difficulty. The crack hides with objects 20 feet away was great.
