Scent
Dogs experience the world through their noses, making scent work an ideal activity for dogs and handlers of all ages and abilities. Training in scent work allows your dog to engage in their natural behaviors, it’s suitable for puppies right through to senior dogs and can be done in any environment.
We offer a variety of classes and workshops for those pursuing AKC Scent or NACSW competitions, as well as specialty options like trailing, shed hunting, and morel mushroom hunting. These unique classes build on foundational skills while introducing exciting new challenges for you and your dog to enjoy together.
Getting Started
Ready to dive into scent work? We offer beginner-friendly classes designed to help you and your dog explore this exciting activity. To enroll, your dog must be comfortable in group settings and have a loose-leash walk. Need help with these skills? Try Canine Essentials (for dogs over 8 months) or Puppy: Foundations 1 (for dogs under 8 months).
