 K9 Nose Work® classes

Are you looking for a fun activity to share with your dog? Do you want to build a better partnership with your dog? Do you want to learn from your dog about how it sees the world? Do you want to trial in ACSW Nose Work or ANKC Scentwork trials?

In the early classes the dogs search for food or a favourite toy as we build the skills of both dog and handler. As you progress through the class levels the dogs learn to search a variety of environments which include interior, exterior and vehicle searches. Once the dog and handler are working confidently they are introduced to searching for specific odours and more complex search areas. Your dog will amaze you when you see what they are capable of.
  • No previous training required.
  • Open to all dogs , big or small. 
  • Open to reactive dogs that are not welcome at other dog classes as they don't like to socialise with other dogs. There is no dog to dog interaction.
  • Classes taught by a Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI)
  • Classes run for six weeks

Classes are on hold for the time being.
I'm taking a break from running classes for the foreseeable future.
Page will be updated when Classes restart which may not be this year.
