Nosework for the "Pet" Dog

We've been quietly (and oh-so-diligently) working on a *very* special project and *virtual* course called: "Nosework for the Pet Dog".
While I know enough to be dangerous, I wanted to deepen my understanding of this incredibly beneficial activity and sport... and share it with all of you.
To make it truly exceptional, I tapped a notable expert in the field to create it along with me.
This person is a/n...
: top competitor in the sport,
: AKC Scent Judge,
: International Instructor, and (if that wasn't enough)
: wiz in the kitchen and proclaimed grill master.
We've been plugging away on this for weeks and are so excited with how it's all coming together!
If you want to learn how to...
: stimulate and drain both physical and mental energy in your dog in an all-in-one activity,
: activate and "holistically exercise" *all* aspects of your dog,
: give your dog a sense of *purpose*,
: strengthen and fortify relationship and bond,
: fulfill your dog's need to explore, sniff, and tap into their "dog-ness" (which often gets suppressed living as a "pet dog"), and
: come up with creative (and totally portable!) ways to exercise and spend quality time with your dog...
...then you (and your dog) will absolutely love this course!
Nosework is for everyone.... there are no "pre-requisites" (other than having a dog to work with : D). It's for all ages, breeds, mix of breeds, and energy levels, and is especially good for those struggling with not-so-stellar behaviors (as this usually stems from one or more of their needs not being met and provided for by *us*).
Excellent for shy, timid, soft dogs as it builds confidence, as well as already-confident dogs who can channel, exercise, and sufficiently express their existing confidence.
Nosework is where "exercising" your dog takes on a whole new meaning, and I hope you (and your dog) will join us!
*Keep your eyes peeled for an early registration special*

4 年Nosework is an amazing bonding experience for dogs and owners. Working together in a positive environment where the dog gets to take the lead and shine is a great way of reminding the human what an exceptional creature they are sharing their life with. Dogs are as advanced as humans - just in the ways that offered them an evolutionary advantage!
