Introduction to Nose Work Class

March 19 at, 10:45 AM for 6 weeks, 1 1/2 hours each class

Come try out the exciting new sport of Nose Work.  Nose work gives your dog an opportunity to use his excellent ability to detect and hunt down scents. It is great fun for your dog and helps build confidence and problem solving abilities while burning lots of physical and mental energy. At the Sniff-In each dog will be given the opportunity to try nose work by hunting for their favorite treat. Let your dog show you how it is done! Bring your dog on a 6 foot leash (no flexis) and treats. Click here to learn more!
