Episode 27: Alert $#!% Finish!
Episode 27
Saturday, 4 April, 2026

Welcome to K9 Nose Time — hosts Danielle and Lesia discuss recent trialing experiences and upcoming events like the 100 Box Challenge. This episode explains the difference between an ACSW Certifying Official (CO) and a judge, reviews Level Two rules (errors, false alerts, missed hides, timing and rewards), and covers practical tips on leash handling, situational awareness, and how to respond to "no" calls during searches. Listeners will also hear guidance on safe reward practices, when to call alerts/finish, how to handle judge questions, and training advice to build teamwork and confidence in competition. Happy Sniffing!
