Scent Work | Northern Noses

Scent Work Training

For ALL Dogs

Scent Work is a fun and creative game to play with your dog and helps you to tap into one of their strongest instincts; using their noses!

Does your dog never seem to tire and could seemingly run a marathon every day? Scent work is a great way to mentally stimulate them so that they tire in a way you may never have thought possible!
Do you have a young dog that is struggling to focus, or perhaps a dog that just isn’t confident? Scent work can teach dogs to ignore distractions as they become engaged in their work! -Is your dog older and can no longer do those longer walks but still wants to be with you? Engage their brain and awaken their spirits with this fun and rewarding sport!
Do you have a reactive or fearful dog that you wish you could do some sort of activity with, without the fear of negative interactions with other dogs or people? Scent work has ZERO dog to dog interactions so even they can participate
