About Fred Helfers

What they offer

Fred Helfers (FH Consulting LLC) gives Green Valley, AZ as his contact address. He is a Certified K9 Nose Work Instructor and teaches detection classes, seminars and workshops, and his site says he has run training seminars and workshops across the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Poland. Nose work is a search and scenting activity that most pet dogs can learn.

Background

The about page describes a career that began with detection dogs in the early 1980s: police drug detection work in Washington State, a commercial facility that trained police dogs and their handlers for about 20 years, and later accelerant detection dogs for fire departments. It also says he has judged detection dog competitions, including a national nose work trial.
