Scent work requires a lot of concentration which is why dogs get tired more easily. Owners will bond with their dog, become more aware of their dogs’ body language and state of mind. Small changes in tail position, body arching and various movements can be signs of a dog that has found a scent. As long as your dog loves to use their nose to sniff and you like to interact with your dog you will both enjoy these classes. While in class, dogs are kept on their non-retractable leash and take turns locating a scent. Level 1 class uses scent of Wintergreen.
