K9 Nose Work Class - Week 2

Chloe has developed a positive association with the building where the class is being held.  In week 2, the instructor is making the scent game more difficult by changing the scene of the environment.  Chloe's nose did not fail her and she was again successful.  Week 3 of the class is scheduled for Sunday, August 1st.

K9 Nose Work Class

We started the K9 Nose Work class on Sunday afternoon and it was purely entertaining to watch Chloe sniff and find the bait. Finally, a game Mom doesn't have to work so hard physically to participate in like the Agility For Fun class we took a few years ago. I had to sprint from one obstacle to another! I felt like I was in boot camp! In the K9 Nose Work class, Chloe does all the work, mainly, her lovely-dudley canine nose and it's 200 million receptors. Her high energy, motivation to find and speed is working to her advantage. We can't wait to see her progress at the next class.
