The Sport of Nosework

Dogs love using their noses – it’s what they do best. So, if you enjoy watching your dog do something that is so natural to her, then you will love Nosework. Our classes are designed to take you and your dog through the beginning stages to the polishing phase of all of Nosework.

Nosework focuses on odor detection and is great for just about any dog of any age and temperament. Our classes will prepare your dog for the sport of nose work – starting from the most basic foundation in scent work and working up to the challenges found at the highest levels of competition. We teach nosework using the principles of operant conditioning, so your dog will be exposed to the target odors from the first day. We do not pair odor with food or toys at any point in your dog’s career.

This type of scent sport -- among others -- is unbeatable for building confidence and sureness in soft dogs while creating thinking and attention in more driven or harder dogs. Join your dog in this amazing activity and be amazed at what your dog can do.
