Nose work is a truly fantastic activity you and your dog can enjoy together. Everyone knows that dogs have an amazing sense of smell, and through nose work you get to use this unique ability.

Everyone is familiar with mine detection dogs, narcotics dogs, and teaching dogs to search for chanterelles, but did you know that dogs can be trained as epilepsy and diabetes alert dogs?

That they can be used to search for wood-boring insects, rot in wooden posts, gas leaks — just to mention a few of the hundreds of things you can teach your dog to search for.

We teach your dog a game that they absolutely love — using their amazing nose to detect different scents.

We will tailor the course to suit the participants' level and interests.

The training method takes place on platforms and fields before we take it out into the «field».

In addition to the search work, we will focus on engagement exercises and foundational skills related to nose work.
