Ready, Set, Sniff!
Nosework is a brand-new, scent-based canine sport. Just like dogs trained for drugs or explosives detection, Nosework expects a dog to hunt for, find, and show the source of hidden odor (essential oils) under various conditions such as in containers and vehicles, indoors and outdoors.
Note about all Nosework classes: Students may stay at the same level for several sessions. Students will stay with their "flights" unless moved to a more appropriate class as per their skill level. Classes will progress based on the needs and appropriateness for the dogs.

Jump Start Program
Open to any Team who prefers individual instruction in Agility, Ball Herding, Nosework, and Rally Obedience. In lieu of seven weeks of regular group classes, this option offers great flexibilty with scheduling, progressing, or other special needs for either dog or handler. In four one-hour blocks of individual instruction, teams can progress as quickly or quicker than group classes. Depending on the evaluation at the end of the four meetings, most teams are prepared to enter group classes or you may choose to continue in the Jump Start Program. You get the opportunity to evaluate and observe what serves your TEAM best in going forward!
