Want a fun class that doesn’t require a ton of prior training? Nose Work may be just the thing!
Nose
Work is a cool new sport where dogs are trained to find certain odors
in 4 different elements – interiors, exteriors, vehicles and containers.
Sniffing is one of the greatest joys in a dog’s life, yet we rarely
allow them to do it.
This class is a great
confidence builder for shy or fearful dogs; offers an outlet for older
and retired dogs; and provides mental stimulation for ALL dogs. Any age
dog can play, and since all dogs will be crated when it is not their
turn to work, even dogs that are reactive to other dogs may participate.
(Dogs that are people reactive must sit this one out – sorry). A crate
will be available for each dog during class - no need to bring your own.
Dogs
will become proficient on their first target odor, and will learn how
to be “odor obedient” even in the face of distractions. You will be
using very HIGH VALUE foods as a reward for your dog. (More about this
when you sign up).
If your dog has a working nose
and LOVES food, come join us!! Whether you plan to compete, or just want
to have fun with your dog – Nose Work fits the bill.
This
class is limited to 6 working teams and will last approximately 1 hour.
The cost of this 6-week class is $150 and must be prepaid.
Prerequisites:
Please bring your own crate to class. NO prior training is required,
but dogs cannot be people reactive and/or people aggressive.
