Nosework is one of the fastest-growing dog sports for good reason — it’s fun, builds confidence, and is suitable for dogs of all ages and temperaments. Nosework is especially helpful for dogs who struggle with reactivity or low confidence. Even in just a few weeks, you’ll see your dog tuning out distractions and focusing on target odor.

This course is unique because we start on odor from day one — no food searching. We use a proven backchaining method similar to the one used to train top detection dogs. The approach is effective for everything from sensitive or unfocused dogs to high-drive workers. Many teams earn their ORT and Novice titles after our introductory courses.

You’ll learn core Nosework concepts: how odor moves, how to handle equipment and hides, how to build strong odor obedience, and how to make searching both clear and motivating for your dog.

This is the third class in my popular Drills and Skills series. With all training we need to maintain skills, progress skills, and then be a little more ambitious to try something more difficult! Our dogs are amazing and are usually up for the challenge! They are capable of more than we think! This class will push you more out of your comfort level so make sure your dog will be up for it too!

This is a perfect class to get new ideas for setting up your training. The focus will be on hide placement challenges and easy to setup drills that can mostly be done inside or in small spaces. Some drills will require larger spaces. Handling review and suggestions will be included in feedback as well.
