Intro To Nosework

Nose Work is a class for all dogs because they all have inherently amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt. The class is designed to develop your dog's natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt and their love for toys, food and exercise. It's a great way for your dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn lots of mental and physical energy.

The primary goal of the class is to have fun! Some dogs have taken this class who have had little experience playing with toys or owners, but with several repetitions of the class you'll start to notice a change. Owners should not feel discouraged if their dogs don't 'get it' right away. In other cases, the dogs have had a good foundation in Find It games and play in general. Luckily this class can be adjusted to accommodate different skill levels and everyone will see improvement regardless of their dog's skill level or temperament.

For this class we do not require that dogs have any previous training experience, although good manners are encouraged. We only require that your dog be capable of handling confinement during the class, either crated away from their handlers or in a properly equipped vehicle.

Because all dogs work one at a time and are crated during down time, this is an excellent class for dogs who are shy, dog reactive, or newly adopted. It's also a great class for dogs that need a lot of mental and physical stimulation and are eager to continue their training. The Nose Work class will give your dog the opportunity to build confidence in new environments, and work around obstacles without the stress of interaction with other dogs.
