K9 Nose Work®

NW1 - Introduction to K9 Nose Work®

This six week class will introduce your dog to the exciting game of K9 Nose Work®. The primary goal of this class is to have fun by allowing your dog to connect with his/her “inner hunter.” Each week you will see your dog’s confidence and enthusiasm increase as various challenges are added to the searches. You will have fun getting to know the other students in the class and cheering each other on as the dogs become more and more engaged in the game.

NW2 - Introduction to Odor

This six week class will further solidify searching skills and introduce interior room and vehicle searches to the teams. While the dogs are developing their searching abilities, handlers will be honing their observation and problem solving skills. As the class progresses, the dogs will be introduced to searching for a specific scent (essential oil of birch.) Further work with odor will continue in NW3.

NW 3 - Continuing Odor

Utilizing the foundation principles of K9 Nose Work®, this six week class will continue building skills in searching for birch odor. The class will continue to work with box and interior room searches with fun, confidence building exercises. Students will learn to recognize the subtle changes in their dog’s behavior as they begin to search an area, then focus on one portion of the area until they can locate the hidden odor.

The focus of NW4 and NW4+ field trip classes are to expose dogs to various search environments and prepare teams for K9 Nose Work® competitions.
