More about the Intro to K9 Nosework – Level 1 class:

Inspired by professional detection dogs, K9 Nosework is an outlet for companion dogs to engage their natural scenting instincts. In this first level, dogs will tap into their hunting drive for treats to build independent searching skills and confidence. This class is appropriate for dogs who are new to nosework but interested in competing in NACSW trials.

K9 Nosework is designed to allow all dogs the opportunity to search independently with individualized attention. Therefore, dogs will stay inside their cars and take turns searching inside of the training room for approximately 2-4 runs each. This setup makes it a great opportunity for reactive or overly excited dogs to learn a new skill in a less stimulating environment. For dogs that are reactive towards people, please inquire regarding private training.

Long-line leashes of 8-15 feet are encouraged, but not required.

Intro to K9 Nosework – Level 1 is a 5 lesson “series” class scheduled 1 day a week over a 5-week period (unless there are skip dates, e.g., for Holidays). Classes can’t be swapped or rescheduled because each class has a set begin and end date with the same dogs every week.
