Sniff & Search

Sniff & Search: Fun, Enrichment & Confidence Building for Your Dog

​

CURRENTLY NOT A SCHEDULED CLASS - Call to be placed on our waiting list! 

​

This is a fun, beginner-friendly, no-pressure class designed to highlight your dog’s amazing sense of smell. Your dog will learn to search at their own pace while building confidence, focus, and a stronger bond with you.

 

What Will Your Dog Learn?

 

Your dog will be introduced to a variety of searches, including:

• Interior searches: Searching boxes and other items for food, eventually progressing to locating a specific scent—Birch essential oil.

• Exterior searches: Searching outdoors when weather conditions, including wind and rain, allow.

• Buried searches: Learning to use their nose to locate hidden scents.

 

There is no competition between dogs in this class. The goal is simply for you and your dog to have fun, explore, and enjoy the experience of searching together.

 

We intentionally keep the class small to minimize wait time while other dogs are searching and to provide a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

 

Why Try Sniff & Search?

 

Whether you simply want a fun activity to enjoy with your dog or you’re interested in eventually participating in competition trials, this class is a great place to start!
