Please note no classes on Saturday 1/24/26- our staff is participating in Clicker Expo Virtual for continuing education.

Nose Work is a cool dog driven sport in which handler and dog teams work together to find the hidden scents. Beginning Nose Work class focuses on building a dog’s desire to hunt and scent independently. This 4 week class starts dogs searching boxes and hunting for a primary reward/food. The goal is to take the dog’s focus off of the handler and instead follow their noses. After completion, dogs and handlers are prepared to continue on to second level searching in new environments including outdoors with more difficult hides and distractions.

Class is 4 weeks and has a maximum of 5-8 students.
