Nosework Foundations

Service Description

Unlock your dog’s natural scenting ability in a supportive, enrichment-rich environment. In this six-week Nosework Foundations series, you and your dog will explore the building blocks of scent detection through structured exercises that grow confidence, focus, and teamwork. Dogs will learn to identify odors and navigate search areas with clarity, while handlers develop timing, handler skills, and clear communication. Each session is small-group and coach-led, so every team gets individualized attention. This class is perfect for curious beginners and dogs who thrive on mental challenges. Expect to leave each week with a happy dog and a stronger partnership. Dogs must be able to stay in a crate while waiting for their turn. Please note that dogs in season are not allowed in class or on the facility premises. Now enrolling — Class starts January 17, 2026. This Nosework Foundations class kicks off on January 17, 2026.
