Scent Work
Scent work, also known as scent detection or nosework, is a dog sport that
utilizes a dog's natural ability to detect scents. It involves training dogs to
search for specific odors and communicate their findings to their handlers.
This activity is not only fun but also mentally stimulating for dogs.
Advanced Nose Work
New session begins Wednesday Jan 14, 2026 (6 week class)
Intro to Nosework for Beginners
4:30 - 5:30 pm
Dogs should know Birch scent. In our classes, we will build on their ability to hunt for the source by placing treats an odor in a container for them to find. The goal is to build confidence in the dog to search for hidden sources (hides). To the dog this is a game, a puzzle to figure out where the target is and get treated. The dogs will be introduced to boxes, where one of the boxes has the hide in it (hot) and the other boxes are decoys.
Handler/owners will also learn about odor and how it moves in a search area to help your dog when searching. Dogs will start with Birch, Anise, and Clove as their first odor.
If you are interested and would like to sign up, or want more info, instant message, or email me at kalees1@gmail.com. Class will be limited to 6 dogs.
