Nose work Training
Empower your dog!
Whether you are an experienced sport or working dog handler or pet owner with no experience at all, nose work is a scenting game where the dog takes the lead! High-drive, low-drive, reactive, sensitive, or dogs of any age can participate.
Nose work, also known as scent work, is especially enriching for dogs and gives their human partners insight into their world by observing them during this activity. While modeled after professional scent detection, it is a recreational activity or sport that all dogs can enjoy and benefit from. Instead of explosives, drugs, or other serious odors involved in professional work, we use essential oils for target odors. We train our dogs to search and communicate the location of these odors in various elements like containers, vehicles, indoors or outdoors (exteriors).
Nose work is good for dogs and people! It does all these things and more:
Mental and physical stimulation
Outlet for energetic dogs
A confidence building activity for dogs with shyness and anxiety
An enjoyable activity to do with your dog
Opportunity to develop effective communication and team work
Witness our dog’s extraordinary canine olfaction (their sniffing ability).

Canine Fitness & Conditioning
Just as with humans, a balanced fitness and conditioning program enhances our well-being and it does the same for our dogs. All dogs can benefit from a conditioning program to improve healthspan and contribute to longevity. Complete conditioning includes strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance.
Conditioning benefits include:
Body and spatial awareness (especially for puppies)
Mobility for seniors
Injury prevention
Sport or working performance
We suspect they are happier too!
