Level 1 - Intro to Nose Work

Service Description

K9 Nose Work® and Scent Work are a fast-growing scent detection sport for companion dogs and is inspired by the training and work of law enforcement detection dogs. The sport develops your dog’s natural hunting and scenting abilities to find target odors for fun or competition. Any dog breed (or mix), any age, activity level, or physical abilities can participate. Because only the working dog is in the working area during a search, dogs that are uncomfortable around other dogs or those with environmental sensitivities can learn and thrive in this new sport. An obedient dog is not necessary! All dogs must be able to be “car crated” or quietly wait their turn in a covered crate in another room. Class will meet for 6 weeks. Classes will be mostly indoors, but in the event of beautiful weather, we may start working on some exterior searches. Each class is 1 hour and 30 minutes. PLEASE NOTE that there are 3 "bye" weeks where there will be no class to accommodate travel and competitions. Class homework will be suggested.
