Introduction to Scent Work January 24th, 11:30-12:30, 6-week series

Exciting New Scent Work Class Launching Saturday, January 24th, 11:30–12:20! This immersive six-week course will kick off with a dynamic overview of scent-sport fundamentals, essential equipment, and key rules across multiple venues. On the very first day, dogs will be introduced to the odor of birch, beginning their journey with confidence. Handlers and their dogs will build teamwork, ignite drive to odor, and learn effective strategies for success in a supportive environment.
Our welcoming, low-stress environment is ideal for beginners, making it easy to start your scent work journey. Experience hands-on training, watch your dog’s confidence and skills blossom, and see firsthand what makes this activity so enjoyable for both dogs and handlers. Whether you’re aiming to compete or simply enrich your dog’s life with meaningful mental stimulation, our Scent Work class offers the perfect opportunity. We keep class sizes small to ensure every participant gets personalized coaching and plenty of interactive learning.
One of the most common questions we receive is about dog-to-dog interaction during class. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs are kept in their handlers’ vehicles when not actively participating. Each dog comes in individually for their turn to train, ensuring a calm and focused environment. Your dog’s well-being and the safety of all participants remain our top priorities.
We look forward to providing you with a secure, positive experience.
No prior experience is required—every dog is welcome to join our scent work class!
