This “freshman” class is for all new-comers. In laying the building blocks for success, we first teach the game sniffing out a scent. This first class works mostly with treats, boxes and a small course. By the end of the six weeks, dogs will be introduced to their first scent, usually birch. Our Scent Classes are a recreational version of what you see police and military dogs do! This new sport is based on positive reward techniques and it is wonderful mental stimulation for your dog. Dogs that progress in their abilities can move on Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes to prepare for trials, testing, and titling.

Our trainer is certified in Human Air Scent, narcotics detection, and trains K9’s for Search and Rescue.
