K9 Nose Work is the fun search and scenting activity for virtually all dogs and people. This easy to learn activity and sport builds confidence and focus in many dogs, and provides a safe way to keep dogs fit and healthy
Over this first 6 week class, we will introduce your dog to the art of hunting, boxes and the “primary reward.” Primary reward gives your dog the opportunity to find food without handler involvement and will build canine confidence.
Behaviors you will learn in this class include:
-
Build your dog’s drive to hunt
-
Build your dog’s independence and confidence
-
Teach your dog the importance of boxes and containers
-
Build the handler’s observation skills: recognize when your dog is hunting
