5:30 PM - 6:30 PM	Dog Training - Intro to Canine Nosework (Scent Detection 101) Intro to Canine Nosework: Scent Detection 1Canine Nose Work is a scenting activity and dog sport that uses a dog's natural desire to hunt to find a specific odor. Inspired by professional detection dogs, the sport was created for companion dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those who are reactive or shy. How it works-Training for K9 Nose Work begins by teaching the dog to find a hidden, high value treat paired with a target odor in a variety of boxes. As the dog becomes more confident in its scent-detection abilities, trainers increase the difficulty of the searches. It’s a great hide and seek-type game to play with your dog.Who can join us?- Classes are open to adults (over 18 yrs.) with a well-behaved dog over 10 months of age that has successfully completed at least a Beginners or Introductory Dog Obedience or Manners course.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dog When your dog is not working, they must remain in your car, or, if well behaved, you can bring a portable crate and crate your dog on our stage in the building. Dogs that can’t settle or constantly bark causing distractions for the other teams must remain in their vehicle. It is highly recommended that handlers observe other teams working and learning, as this is incredibly helpful to the learning process. We will have chairs set up in an area where handlers can observe the other teams working.Continuing Nosework for Novice Teams (Scent Detection 2)This class is the next level class for Teams who have completed an Intro to Nosework Class but are still at the novice level with limited experience.  We will expand working on the foundations of scent detection.  Teams will progress to more challenging searches and add other search categories such as interior searches (room searches), elevated hides and increasing the amount and types of containers used in our searches.  Additional target odors used in competitive events will be introduced also (anise, clove).  Who can join us?- Teams must be fluent on the initial target odor-birch (Betula Lenta).  A previous Intro to NW class or Beginner NW class is a prerequisite.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dogs.

5:30 PM - 6:30 PM	Dog Training - Intro to Canine Nosework (Scent Detection 101) Intro to Canine Nosework: Scent Detection 1Canine Nose Work is a scenting activity and dog sport that uses a dog's natural desire to hunt to find a specific odor. Inspired by professional detection dogs, the sport was created for companion dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those who are reactive or shy. How it works-Training for K9 Nose Work begins by teaching the dog to find a hidden, high value treat paired with a target odor in a variety of boxes. As the dog becomes more confident in its scent-detection abilities, trainers increase the difficulty of the searches. It’s a great hide and seek-type game to play with your dog.Who can join us?- Classes are open to adults (over 18 yrs.) with a well-behaved dog over 10 months of age that has successfully completed at least a Beginners or Introductory Dog Obedience or Manners course.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dog When your dog is not working, they must remain in your car, or, if well behaved, you can bring a portable crate and crate your dog on our stage in the building. Dogs that can’t settle or constantly bark causing distractions for the other teams must remain in their vehicle. It is highly recommended that handlers observe other teams working and learning, as this is incredibly helpful to the learning process. We will have chairs set up in an area where handlers can observe the other teams working.Continuing Nosework for Novice Teams (Scent Detection 2)This class is the next level class for Teams who have completed an Intro to Nosework Class but are still at the novice level with limited experience.  We will expand working on the foundations of scent detection.  Teams will progress to more challenging searches and add other search categories such as interior searches (room searches), elevated hides and increasing the amount and types of containers used in our searches.  Additional target odors used in competitive events will be introduced also (anise, clove).  Who can join us?- Teams must be fluent on the initial target odor-birch (Betula Lenta).  A previous Intro to NW class or Beginner NW class is a prerequisite.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dogs.

5:30 PM - 6:30 PM	Dog Training - Intro to Canine Nosework (Scent Detection 101) Intro to Canine Nosework: Scent Detection 1Canine Nose Work is a scenting activity and dog sport that uses a dog's natural desire to hunt to find a specific odor. Inspired by professional detection dogs, the sport was created for companion dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those who are reactive or shy. How it works-Training for K9 Nose Work begins by teaching the dog to find a hidden, high value treat paired with a target odor in a variety of boxes. As the dog becomes more confident in its scent-detection abilities, trainers increase the difficulty of the searches. It’s a great hide and seek-type game to play with your dog.Who can join us?- Classes are open to adults (over 18 yrs.) with a well-behaved dog over 10 months of age that has successfully completed at least a Beginners or Introductory Dog Obedience or Manners course.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dog When your dog is not working, they must remain in your car, or, if well behaved, you can bring a portable crate and crate your dog on our stage in the building. Dogs that can’t settle or constantly bark causing distractions for the other teams must remain in their vehicle. It is highly recommended that handlers observe other teams working and learning, as this is incredibly helpful to the learning process. We will have chairs set up in an area where handlers can observe the other teams working.Continuing Nosework for Novice Teams (Scent Detection 2)This class is the next level class for Teams who have completed an Intro to Nosework Class but are still at the novice level with limited experience.  We will expand working on the foundations of scent detection.  Teams will progress to more challenging searches and add other search categories such as interior searches (room searches), elevated hides and increasing the amount and types of containers used in our searches.  Additional target odors used in competitive events will be introduced also (anise, clove).  Who can join us?- Teams must be fluent on the initial target odor-birch (Betula Lenta).  A previous Intro to NW class or Beginner NW class is a prerequisite.Class work-The handler and dogs take turns working one at a time so the dogs can concentrate on what they are learning without distraction from other dogs.
