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.

Intro to Nosework for Beginners
5-5:45 pm
Intro to Scentwork is a class where your dog gets to use its nose to find things. Your dog has the natural ability to use their nose to locate odors. Your dog already uses his nose daily, why not enjoy your dog in a game of hide and seek? Dog will be more satisfied after class because Scentwork is more mental than physical.
In our classes, we will build on their ability to hunt for the source by placing treats in containers 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 as their first odor.
