We intend to follow the philosophy and methodology of K9 Nose Work® as developed by the founders of the activity, to the best of our understanding.
Providing physical and mental exercise for our dogs is the best way to keep them happy and healthy. It also helps to decrease or eliminate problem behaviour.
Dogs have amazing noses and live in a chemical world. While humans primarily use their eyes to gather information, our dog friends use their noses.
Nose Work taps into a dog's natural instinct to hunt.
Dogs LOVE the game and get very excited about searching. It is a wonderful thing to watch dogs use their noses in such a natural way.
Every dog - big, small, bold, timid, old, young and those with special needs love to participate. Join a class and watch the fun begin.

"Just wanted to say thank you for the class last night - Tessie had a great time, and it was wonderful to learn how to channel her natural hunting instinct. She was exhausted last night - no small feat! I look forward to learning more from you as the classes go on, and hopefully implementing some of the techniques with Cooper (the Beagle)."
