Description

K9 Nose Work ®

Inspired by working detection dogs, K9 Nose Work® is the fun search and scenting activity for virtually all dogs and people. This easy to learn activity and sport builds confidence and focus in many dogs, and provides a safe way to keep dogs fit and healthy through mental and physical exercise.
K9 Nose Work® starts with getting your dog excited about using his nose to seek out a favorite toy or treat reward hidden in one of several boxes, expanding the game to entire rooms, exterior areas, and vehicles. As your dog grows more confident with his nose, target
odors are introduced, and competition skills are taught. And, if your goal is to compete in canine scent work sports the K9 Nose Work® method will build the foundation needed for all venues,
NACSW, AKC, UKC, C-wags, USCSS, and SDDA.
