Nosework For Fun

Our Nosework for Fun class is a scent-based enrichment course for dogs over 6 months old that taps into your dog’s natural sniffing instincts! It is great for all breeds, ages, and energy levels! When our dogs get to use their nose, it even builds confidence, focus, and teamwork!

Classes are taught by Elizabeth, a certified KPA-CTP as well as former IPWDA-Certified K9 Search & Rescue Human Remains Detection Handler. Learn more > here!
