Nosework is a fun and engaging scent detection activity that taps into a dog's natural ability to sniff and search. In nosework classes, dogs learn to identify and locate specific scents, such as essential oils, hidden in various environments. It's a mentally stimulating activity that builds focus, confidence, and problem-solving skills, while also offering a great way to burn off energy. Nosework is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds, and it's a fantastic way to provide both mental and physical enrichment for your canine companion.
