Intro to Nose Work

Inspired by working detection dogs, Nose Work is a fun search and scenting activity and competitive dog sport for virtually all dogs and people. Nose Work highlights your dog’s natural ability for detecting and locating target odors. Our Introduction to Nose Work Workshop starts off with having your dog search for a high value treat or favorite toy. You will work toward searching inside, outside, around vehicles and containers.

Nose Work is a great activity for almost every type of dog. It’s the perfect way to give an older dog something to do that is impact-free. It’s also a great way to burn off energy in a younger dog. If your dog is shy, Nose Work is excellent at building confidence. Nose Work is the perfect sport for reactive or dog-aggressive dogs because there are never any other dogs around when one dog is searching.
Nose Work is an easy-to-learn activity and sport because we aren’t really teaching the dog how to do anything. Rather, we are tapping into their instincts and providing an outlet for them to search and have fun. No prior obedience training or dog sport experience is required.
