Scent Work

"We saw you on Ch.4 and you were excellent! Duke usually doesn't pay any attention to TV but when he saw you and one of his buddies from school, he watched until you went off the air. We just wanted to tell you once again, we are so glad we found you and we are part of a wonderful training program that you have given us."
C. Shultz, Westerville

While we as humans see the world around us, our dogs smell the world around them. Their noses are always working, so why not use this as an opportunity to exercise and bond with your dog? This two-part class will help develop your dog's natural scenting ability. Your dog will learn to focus on a particular scent, find the source of that scent, and then alert you when he has found it. As your dog's handler you will learn to observe your dog, paying close attention to his body language and other visual cues, as well as develop handling skills necessary to support your dog. This is a great opportunity for you and your dog to build trust, improve your bond, and learn to work as a team -- all while having fun!
