Dogs see the world through their nose! Their 220 million cells devoted to smelling (versus human’s paltry 5 million) gives them the ability to process a vast amount of information. Simply by stopping to sniff the roses, we can help our dogs release dopamine and get out excess energy. Tap into your dog’s ultimate super power, and take the time to explore this miraculous world with your beloved dog!
Through the sport of Nosework we provide an incredibly fun way to allow our dogs to meet their sniffing needs, further develop their natural smelling abilities, increase calmness, and build confidence - all while providing essential mental and physical stimulation. In this relaxed, non-competition focused course, we introduce new cues and games to teach your dog how to find food and other items, as well as differentiate between scents - the same way service and other working dogs are taught to find bed bugs, medical issues, drugs, explosives, or allergens hidden in food!
Cancellations made with less than one week’s notice will still be charged the full fee.
