    INTRO TO SCENT WORK (also known as Nose Work).  Scent Work is quickly becoming a favorite sport. Scent work is a positive activity that allows dogs the opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a way that is fun, engaging, and that builds and strengthens a foundation of trust between the handler and dog. In the sport of Scent Work, dogs are trained to recognize specific odors, and to alert their handlers when the odors are detected. There are no upper age limits for dogs or handlers to this engaging sport. Many owners who have tried Scent Work report that their dogs are much happier and calmer, doing what comes naturally, using their nose! 

    Sessions run for 4 weeks and are held Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM.
