Nose Work

An introduction to the new and exciting dog sport of K9 Nose Work®. Based on professional detection dog techniques, K9 Nose Work® is fun for dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities. Dogs start by searching for their favorite food or toy reward hidden in a variety of environments. It is a terrific way to allow your dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn mental and physical energy. Handlers will start to see and learn how to read their dog’s body language when working scent.
Prerequisite: Dog must be comfortable in a crate while other dogs are working.
