Sniffer School: An Intro to Scenting & Nosework – Sundays: March 8, 15, 22, & 29. 1:15-2:30pm Product Image

Sniffer School: An Intro to Scenting & Nosework – Sundays: March 8, 15, 22, & 29. 1:15-2:30pm If you’re looking for a fun, engaging activity to do with your dog or puppy, scenting is a great fit. Dogs use their natural instincts while you learn how to create simple to more challenging searches and strengthen your connection along the way. Scenting provides both mental and physical stimulation, which often leaves even high-energy dogs calmer and more relaxed afterward. It’s a great complement to regular walks and an ideal option for rainy, hot, or smoky days when outdoor exercise is limited. Scenting for Fun is taught across three working levels and can be repeated as often as you like. Each level can be adjusted to different skill levels, making it suitable for puppies through experienced dogs.

If outings feel stressful or hard to manage at times, you’re not alone. Reactivity is common, and this class is designed to help. Reactive Rover focuses on understanding your dog’s body language, learning how different situations affect them, and building skills that help them feel more comfortable and confident. We start with foundation exercises and gradually build on them to support calmer responses and safer, more manageable walks.
