Brigitte has owned and worked her German Shepherd dogs for 30+ years. While rehabilitating the rescued German Shepherd Dog (GSD) Nero in 2012, she found the K9 NoseWork sport to be very beneficial for bonding with a newly adopted dog as well as in building his confidence and focus. Having so much success with her rescued dogs’ rehabilitation, Brigitte has decided to pass on the benefits of K9 Nose Work and become an instructor through the training program of the founding organization of this sport, NACSW. She is currently a CNWI – certified nosework instructor.

Paul Bujold worked 30+ years in local government as a senior manager before beginning a second career working with dogs and their people. While working to become certified as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), he studied under Irith Bloom owner of The Sophisticated Dog in Los Angeles and Shannon Riley-Coyner, owner of the Ventura Pet Wellness Center. His dogs have competed and titled in obedience and canine nosework. While dog sports are fun and challenging, Paul's greatest joy is sharing his life with well-behaved and well-adjusted companions. His proudest achievement, dog wise, is rescuing a fearful, anxious dog and helping him become calm and confident enough to become CDC certified and work as a retirement home therapy dog.
