Let your dog discover the joy of using their nose!

K9 Nose Work® is a fun and inclusive scent-based activity that gives dogs the opportunity to use their incredible natural sense of smell.

In this 4-session introductory course, you and your dog will learn the foundations of K9 Nose Work® through fun, carefully structured search activities.

Nose Work encourages dogs to think independently, problem-solve and build confidence, while handlers learn how to observe their dog, recognise changes in behaviour and work together as a team.

Why try K9 Nose Work®?

K9 Nose Work® is a fantastic way to:

• Build confidence and independence

• Improve focus and concentration

• Provide meaningful mental and physical enrichment

• Give your dog an outlet for their natural sniffing and searching behaviours

• Strengthen the relationship between dog and handler

• Enjoy a fun activity suitable for dogs of many different breeds, ages and abilities

Dogs work individually, rather than interacting with other dogs during class. This makes Nose Work a great option for many dogs who may find a traditional group-class environment challenging.
