Scent Work and Nose Games
What Do We Love About Nose Games?
Practically Everything!
1. Scent Games allow dogs to channel their love of sniffing!
2. It’s a great way to add enrichment to your dogs life.
3. Every dog can play, no matter their age or accessibility needs.
4. Nosework burns off mental and physical energy.
5. Easy for the whole family to play with your dog – even children!
6. Play inside when the weather isn’t agreeable.
Drop-In Nosework Searches
If you’ve already taken one of our nosework class (including our Intro class), and would like an opportunity to practice searching this is for you! Once weekly drop-in searches which pair a food reinforcer with Birch scent (we can also do clove or anise if you prefer!) so it’ll be appropriate for dogs at varying levels. Class is open to 8 dogs, and we will get at least four runs with different hides a night.

There are no prerequisites for this class, but dogs who have some foundation in retrieving other things (balls, sticks, toys, etc) or some experience in nosework will do best.
