Nosework and Scentwork

The sport of nosework and scentwork celebrates the joy of sniffing and rewards your dog's natural instincts to find specific odors amid distractions, while building your handling and observational skills. This fun and contemporary twist on scent detection is designed for ALL types of dogs. If this is your dog's first formal training class, we recommend starting with a Canine Manners class then move to Beginner/Intro to Nosework. If your dog has basic obedience training, start with Beginner/Intro to Nosework.

Agility: Introduction, Beginner, Foundational Skills

Your agility journey starts through an introduction to agility training with our beginner and foundational skills classes. As a prerequisite, dogs should have passed Canine Manners or a similar obedience class as teams will be working off-leash nearby other dogs for brief periods of time. These exciting agility classes will teach dogs to perform obstacles safely while building confidence, and will teach handlers basic handling theory and shaping behaviors while using positive reinforcement.
