Landis Memorial Scholarship Recipients

August 2025
Shelley Aukett from Sydney, Australia

Congratulations to Shelley Aukett as the first recipient of the Landis Memorial Scholarship. Shelley is the owner of Paws and Think Animal Training.

She and her dog Jeddah live in Sydney, Australia. Shelley is soon to be a CNWI with the NACSW. Upon receipt of the news that she was selected, Shelley said:

“Thank you so much for your generosity and the continual love for the free spirit of Landis. I genuinely feel honored.”

“Being chosen as the inaugural Landis Scholarship recipient was a deeply rewarding experience. It acknowledges the importance of canine nose work not just as an activity, but as a welfare-focused approach that supports emotional regulation and confidence for all those guardians and dogs who are looking for a way through some of the challenges we 

see everyday. The scholarship strengthened my commitment to ongoing education and advocacy in this space.”

Congratulations Shelley! We’re delighted to have you in our CNWI program!
