K9 Nose Work is a fun activity for dogs of all ages, sizes, and levels of physical ability. The activity gives your dog the opportunity to use and develop their natural ability to detect odor. This course is a continuation of Intro to K9 Nose Work. Dogs will be introduced to further concepts to continue to build confidence and independence in searching. We will also be introducing further elements including searching exteriors and vehicles.

For this class, each dog will have time in the building or exterior spaces alone to help build confidence and independence, which means the other dogs in the course will be outside or contained while a dog is working. There will be an informational email after registration that will go over logistics, safety, considerations for all weather conditions, and frequently asked questions.

This class will take place indoors and outdoors. Each family group will be limited to two handlers maximum per dog, class is limited to 6 dogs total to accommodate.

Beyond Intro to K9 Nose Work is taught by Sara Saperstein, MA, KPA-CTP, ANWI.
