INTRO TO NOSEWORK ...Try It Day!

Introduction to Nosework workshop (Try It Day)

WHEN?  Saturday February 1st, 2025

WHAT TIME?  10:00 am to 12:30 pm

WHAT IS NOSEWORK? Nosework is one of the most popular sports around, and it’s easy to see why! It’s fun for humans, dogs love to participate, and it’s good for building confidence and focus in dogs.

Nosework provides an excellent opportunity for dogs and handlers to build partnerships and trust. Nosework is great for puppies to build confidence and retired dogs who still want to work; it provides fun and challenges for dogs and handlers alike.

This workshop will get you started and determine if your dog has an aptitude for the work.
