Nova's Videos

Nova spends a lot of time on the move, and we want to share it. This page will soon be home to clips of Nova at play and out on the trail.

Videos of Nova playing, running and hiking are coming soon. Check back here, or join the newsletter to hear when the first clips go live.

What to expect

Expect real, everyday Nova: zooming around during play, trotting along hiking trails, and working out simple brain games at home. No special effects needed; a young German Shepherd at full speed is entertaining enough.

Where we can, we will connect each clip to the science on this site, such as why her nose stays glued to the ground on a new trail or why she watches her owner's hands so closely during a game. Every outing will follow the same safety basics we share in our hiking guide: water, shade breaks, a leash where required and plenty of rest.
