l
"As a CNWI, I don't always get time with an instructor myself - the videos helped me see how I can support my dog better and what I'm (thankfully) doing right by her. I don't know how Colleen gets all those great angles, but she does, and watching our videos will help me be a better handler, and a better coach for my students." - Beth Ann (and Zivah), April 2018

Thank You for such great work!" - Terrie Vacek, March 2018

"I have been so lucky to have Colleen providing video coverage of most of the Nose Work Trials I have competed in. I purchase her videos, which are excellent quality and shot from more than one angle, whether I am successful in the element or not. Actually, I am more apt to purchase the video if I am not successful. The videos are such an awesome learning tool for improving my work with my dogs. The whole Nose Work community is blessed that Colleen allows the purchased videos to be shared on Facebook so that others can learn from the videos as well. Thank you Colleen!" - Jean Kolor, March 2018

"Having a professional with so much experience and dedication to our sport is a real luxury. You will have the best video quality possible, regardless of the [weather] conditions, with Colleen.

Having video from both cameras gives you the best possible view of what happened in your search.' - Stan Tissue, March 2018

"Colleen Griffith's videos are amazing. I am a certified nose work instructor and K9 handler. I utilize her videos for my team training, as well as with my scent detection training of my own dog Hogan. They are well done and provide a good perspectives, including seamless 360 degree view of the work area during searches. As a K9 trainer, these professionally done videos are instrumental when evaluating how K9 teams perform. Many thanks." - Ron S., April 2018
l
"I consider Colleen's amazing videography an integral part of my nosework training. She does a great job of capturing the searches from beginning to end, focusing only on the handler team without annoying or intrusive background visible. Videos are of the highest quality (clear and crisp) and she edits them to have no extraneous footage. As an option, she can also incorporate multiple viewing angles into one sequence where appropriate, which I find very helpful as well. I appreciate her knowledge of both videography and nosework competition. I think I have bought every single video she has produced of any of my searches at trials, and I feel they have helped my analyze what went right and what went wrong with the searches. Highly recommend!!" - Deborah K., April 2018
l
"Excellent quality trial videos with hide placement noted so that you know what you are looking at. Colleen has been at many trials where we have competed, and I do not hesitate to order her videos, since I know that she will shoot from the best angle to help me see how my dog worked at the trial. Quick turnaround on getting the videos out to those who ordered them, too." - P.S., March 2018
l
"Your videos are always clear and detailed. I have a very small dog and most people don’t capture her or get in close enough to really see what she is doing when sourcing. I can really use your videos to help me learn what went right or if I or the dog did something wrong or different. Excellent tool for learning or just enjoying. The arrows you have incorporated when watching at a later time helps you remember the search just as if it happened this week. Your good at what you do. Keep on doing what your doing girl." - P. Imbro-Allen, April 2018
l
"Colleen is very smart about the placement of her cameras which provides a really good look of the area and the dog's search. She does a nice job editing the videos as well to provide a final product that gives the handler a good training tool and a wonderful memory of the team's search. You can tell Colleen understands the sport and takes a great deal of pride of her work based on the videos she produces." - S.L.R., April 2018

"When I know that Colleen is handling the videos for a NW trial I am really excited. The videos that Colleen does are so great.

I have always been so pleased with the videos that I have ordered from Colleen." - Jane M., April 2018
l
"Colleen's videos are professionally prepared, some with multi camera views. From an instructor's point of view, they are invaluable. I get to view trials my students compete at that I am not able to attend. We can then review them and talk about the search in the moment. Video is a great teaching tool. Colleen's service to the Nowe Work community is invaluable!" - Melanie K., April 2018
l
"Video review is one of the best things you can do to learn more of what dogs have to teach us about the world of scent and about being better competitors - something that the NACSW founders and top instructors have said from the beginning. Use it to improve your dog reading, handling and competition strategy skills. Don't skip the oops and darn videos - there is a huge amount to learn there - it really helped Team Bosun to our NW3. Plenty of learning in the great videos too, plus a great memory of a wonderful search with your best friend. Colleen Griffith's videos are top quality with multiple camera angles and hide pointer reminders available. Highly recommended - thank you Colleen!" - Line Farr CNWI & Bosun the Bull Terrier NW3, L1C

"Colleen's videos of my dog and I working 3 of the 4 elements [NACSW does not permit filming of NW1 Interior searches] at the NW1 trial we attended in Fall of 2017 were very professionally done, and provided excellent views of our searches and finds. Being new to competitive nosework, these videos were, and are, an invaluable training tool as we prepare for future trials. I sincerely hope Colleen will be providing the video services at our upcoming trials. Her work is outstanding." - K. Dixon, March 2018

"Colleen's videos are priceless training tools. She frequently gets multiple angles of a search area so I can see what I am doing and what my dogs are doing.

The dogs are already perfect :) " - Jenn Stollery, April 2018
