Nuts about Nose Work

Posted 08-03-2010 at 02:27 PM by alaskayorkie

Eddie's been taking Nose Work classes lately. I've written a little about it here, and so has quicksilver. It's the newest dog sport out there, originated by a guy who trains Police K-9 dogs. http://www.funnosework.com

Basically, dogs are taught to find odors. They start by finding a treat tucked in one of several boxes, then they put an essential oil odor in with the treat. In later classes, you remove the treat and the dog finds the odor alone and is later rewarded with a treat....
