Nose work is a great, easy and fun sport to get into. I haven’t met a dog yet that doesn’t love this game! It’s all about that sniffer – first we start with teaching the dog to hunt for food in a variety of increasingly difficult challenges and once they are ready we train them to find a target odor. Not only will your dog LOVE this class but it is also a great energy burner for a hyper hound.
Level 1 – Building Blocks of Scent Work
An introduction to the game of scent work for you and your dog. Learn what nose work is, and introduce your dog and work on building hunt drive and confident searching.
