We are happy to announce then Agnieszka Kossakowska - one of the most popular and loved judges in Poland - come to Riga in October!!!
Agnieszka Kossakowska
She started her journey with nosework in 2019, training with Blacky, a fearful dog adopted from a shelter. In 2021, after lots of training, she won the title of Champion of the Polish Nosework
League. In the same year, she passed exams to become both an instructor and a judge for the Polish Nosework League, marking the next step in her commitment to developing nosework in
Poland. Working with a fearful dog and competing in events helped Agnieszka develop a special sensitivity in working with dogs, improve her observation skills, and take a creative approach to training. She now uses these skills successfully as an instructor, helping others grow their teams.
Her experience in organizing sports events and her ability to analyze things carefully have
made her one of respected nosework judges in Poland.
She judged many competitions in Poland, where she was always involved in educating current and future judges. For training judges in the Polish Nosework League, done with Piotr Awencki,
Agnieszka created an educational game, which is now used by other trainers in Poland as well. Under the name "Co Pies Na To," she helped organize many workshops and camps for competitors, including a training camp for nosework instructors and judges this year. On her Instagram profile (@aga_koss_), she runs a series called "NoseKorki," where she shares tips on how to create nosework rings in a smart and effective way.
Agnieszka regularly trains both competitors at different levels and other instructors. However, her greatest satisfaction comes from working with fearful dogs and introducing new teams to the
world of nosework, helping them succeed and build a strong bond with their dogs.
