The Detective Series

Use your dogs superpower - their nose!

Scent work (commonly known as Nosework and Scent Detection), is one of the most enriching activities you can do with your dog. It builds confidence, reduces stress, and provides incredible mental stimulation. These classes teach dogs to problem solve, how to search, and how to hunt for target odors!

Scent Work Foundations

In this 6-week beginner class, dogs learn to channel their natural hunting instincts into a fun and rewarding sport. Through guided scent games and searches, dogs build confidence, focus, and problem-solving skills while learning how to use their nose with purpose.

Scent work is an excellent activity for shy, reactive, or high-energy dogs, as it allows them to work independently while building confidence. This powerful form of mental enrichment can tire dogs out for hours, all while strengthening the bond between dog and handler.
