Nosework means different things to different people.

And depending who you ask, has a different definition.

Because dogs have such a keen sense of smell, we use it in many - many applications. From a canine sport to police work, and of course, just for fun.

My Nosework Games Class

We play fun and engaging activities your dog will love using his sniffing ability.

You’ll use a lot of smelly food treats to start.

Its fun anytime, indoors or out, but even better when the weather is cold, wet and miserable.

Lots of props that are cheap, easy to find or free.

This is a great starting point for nosework.
