Did you know a dog experiences the world primarily through their sense of smell? Your dog’s nose may be thousands of times more powerful than your own, but learning how to use their sense of smell is a skill—one that can be built and refined.

Nosework is a fun, easy-to-start sport that builds confidence, focus, and problem-solving skills by teaching dogs how to intentionally use their sense of smell. It’s mentally stimulating, empowering, and incredibly satisfying for dogs of all ages and abilities!

Private Nosework Lessons allow your dog to learn and progress at their pace, in a calm and supportive environment. These one-on-one sessions are fully customized to meet you and your dog where you’re at.

Whether you’re brand new to nosework and just want to give it a try, or your dog is ready for more advanced searches, private lessons are tailored to your goals—helping your dog develop skills, confidence, and a love for the game.
