*NEW* Drop in Nose Work Classes!

Fun Scent Games for All Dogs

  

Join Bianca and Kari for relaxed, enjoyable nose work sessions focused on mental enrichment and scent fun! These 60-minute drop-ins use food rewards and wintergreen odor in vessels, boxes, and simple hides. We run food-based and odor-based searches at the same time in the same space for maximum success and variety.

​

Perfect for beginners and all levels — no experience needed! Dogs don't have to wait in the car (ideal for those who struggle with it).

 

We're not certified instructors, so these classes are purely for fun and bonding, not competition training. If you're interested in competing, we'll happily refer you to an excellent local certified nose work instructor.

​

Exception: Not suitable for dogs that resource guard from people (for everyone's safety).
