Intro to Nose Work
In this class you and your dog will learn the basics of Nose work.
Nose Work is a dog sport where your dog uses the power of their nose,
with the hunting skills your dog already has, to find treats.
This is a class for all dogs - shy dogs learn to build confidence, reactive dogs
learn to hunt without any other dogs present, senior dogs can still play, and
young dogs learn to focus. During the search the handler does
very little other than follow the dog and reinforce the dog at the
very moment the dog finds the treat. In fact, the less the handler
does, the better. This is the dog's game and they love it!
Dogs will learn to search in boxes and will progress to searching
high and low around barriers Dogs in season and wearing diapers may take the class.
Dogs work one at a time from their owners vehicle.
Starts January 7th
Tuesdays 6:15 PM
