K9 Nose Work is the fun search and scenting activity that virtually all dogs and their people can enjoy. Through a series of games, you learn to watch and listen for all the ways your dog communicates, while building an amazing relationship between you and your dog.
It all starts with getting your dog excited about using his nose to seek out a favorite toy or treat reward hidden in one of several boxes. As your dog grows more confident with his nose, the game expands to entire rooms, exterior areas, and vehicles. Advanced K9 Nose Work focuses on increasing your dog’s scent discrimination skills by adding special target odors to the search, plus other games too.
The K9 Nose Work journey can begin at any stage of your dog’s life, and last a lifetime. Dogs with no prior dog training sport experience find success early and often with K9 Nose Work. High-energy dogs burn calories through mental and physical exercise while on the hunt. While aging or disabled dogs can flex their brain muscles as they figure out the scent puzzle at their own pace.
There’s no end to the games you and your dog can play with K9 Nose Work. But it’s more than just games. K9 Nose Work is also an organized, titling sport with official trials across the nation. So if you like, you and your dog can experience the excitement of competition together.
We have our very own certified Nosework Instructor, Lisa Woodard to help guide your way.
