Dara Sperber, CNWI

Nosework Instructor

Dara, a Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI) with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) has been a keen observer of K9 Nose Work since 2012.  She was fascinated from the beginning watching Andy Sperber & Maho develop as a team.  Coming from a scientific background, the science of olfaction really piqued her interest.  Not having a dog to work for those first few years she spent her time honing her skills of observation by volunteering at as many K9 Nose Work trials as possible.  She also became an approved Score Room Lead at all levels as a way to participate in the sport of K9 Nose Work without a dog.

She also attended numerous seminars and workshops given by the founders of NACSW as well as many respected CNWI from throughout the country.  Spending 3 years as a Logistics Team member at K9 Nose Work Camp just added to the fun and education.  In 2015, Dara & Andy brought home the newest member of their family, Kira, who was to become Dara’s K9 Nose Work teammate.  Kira has earned her NW1 title with a Pronounced overall.  NW2, NW3, NW3 Elite, ELT-1, ELT-2, ELT-3 and her L1E, L1I, L2C, L1V, L2E, L2C, L3I titles.
