“The K9Nosework class concept and sport was created to provide an opportunity for the companion and sport dog to have an outlet for their natural hunting and scenting abilities and was inspired by the model of working detection dogs. The purpose of class is to engage the dog in the game of nose work and teach the handler how to read their dog and build a team relationship while having fun.” (NACSW)

What we are building – Intensity for the Hunt

• A dog’s confidence

• A desire to search for something we want them to find

• A willingness to search when we want them to

• An ability to communicate to us when they have found it, knowing there is a great reward at the end of the search
