Nosework is an exciting new sport that uses similar techniques to those employed to teach dogs to detect narcotics or explosives. It’s a race to find a legal substance. Dogs who naturally enjoy sniffing are easily trained using positive methods to love searching for scent! 

 

While working as a team with their handler, the dog learns to respond to specific target odors by using their natural olfactory abilities. The specific target odors are placed in a variety of environments from containers on the floor to vehicles and much more!
