The Full Story
About
Nosework is like the pet dog equivalent of K9 scent detection. But, instead of hunting for explosives or narcotics, our dogs are trained to find a few harmless essential oils (Birch, Anise, Clove and Cypress). Nosework is a very easy sport that does not require any prior training - it is especially suited for dogs with social struggles (particularly dog reactivity) because they are run individually in the class environment.
Nosework is mentally exhausting (10 minutes is equal to 1hr of hard running), but it is also very low impact which is ideal for older dogs or those that aren't suitable for sports like agility.
