What is K9 Nose Work®

Started in California in the late 2000s by professional detection dog handlers, it is an activity for all dogs of every age, breed and ability as well as for handlers of any age or experience. It has grown to where many associations offer the sport with various odours and challenge levels.

It is a no-aversives, no-discipline, no-guilt fun activity that teams a dog and handler to search for odors. Students start by learning the foundation of the hunt.

All classes are instructed by
