Nosework
Nose Work is a cool, new sport where dogs are trained to find certain odors in different elements; interiors, exteriors, vehicles and containers.
DIG IN
About our Nosework Program:
Nose Work is a new and fast growing sport that is fun for both the handler and the dog. The sport mimics the task of working detection dogs to locate a scent and communicate to the handler that the scent has been found. Nose Work creates an amazing working relationship between dogs and their handlers. It is a fun game that any dog can play. Because sniffing is one of your dog’s greatest joys in life, they love learning and practicing this sport.
​
We offer the Andrew Ramsey system of scent detection training. Andrew Ramsey is a former Military Working Dog trainer and UKC Nosework program co-creator. His training system uses real world explosive detection training techniques to help companion dogs excel in nose work sports and scent discrimination work such as hunting, tracking, SAR (search and rescue), investigation work and assistance dog medical alerting. His training system succeeds by teaching handlers to properly make use of science based techniques and tools like training markers, as well as identifying each dog’s most potent reinforces (rewards). The Ramsey method also teaches participants how to develop their dog’s drive, motivation and scent identification accuracy via training a very specific focused response.
The RAMSEY NOSEWORK system is designed to produce reliable, repeatable results with ANY breed or size of dog.

Each event features 100 containers set throughout a 6,000-square-foot search area, giving teams the opportunity to navigate a large, dynamic space while managing time, scent, and movement. While themes may change throughout the year, the core rules and structure remain consistent, allowing teams to focus on skill development rather than surprises.
