K9 NOSEWORK
INSTRUCTOR: Maureen Dwyer KPA-CTP CNWI
Nose Work is a relatively new dog sport inspired by scent detection trainers and their desire to create an activity that encourages dogs to use their innate hunting and scenting abilities. Whatever the age and ability of your dog, or you, nose work is an engaging and fun activity! Designed by the founders to be all-inclusive for both people and dogs: Nose work is a great activity for confidence building. Your dog will learn to build independence and develop problem-solving skills by using their amazing, expert nose. For you, the handler, no special training is required. It is a low-impact sport. You can do nose work classes just for fun or to prepare for competition.
