Nosework Course

Nosework (Detection) is an activity which allows your dog to harness their innate use of smell to detect odors. This class introduces your dog to the scents of anise, birch, and clove.

As the dog gains more skill, specific target odors are introduced, and the search can be expanded to entire rooms.

The beauty of Nosework is that virtually any dog can do it, including dogs who can't take part in more vigorous exercise because of age or physical limitations. Nosework training can increase the confidence of shy or fearful dogs, and it's even suitable for dogs who are high energy, as it helps them learn how to focus.

Reactive dogs are ok to join, there will be distance added or the dog needs to be ok in a crate. Dogs need to be motivated by treats or toys.
