Course Details

In this 6-week online course, we cover the basic concepts of Scent Work as an activity, how to get started, what foundation skills are crucial for a team to succeed in the sport all while instilling ways to ensure the game remains fun for all involved. Throughout this course, we will be utilizing the K9 Nose Work® training methodology, where the dog will hunt for primary, aka treats, to introduce them to the concept of the game.

Using this approach works for a large swath of dogs, and handlers, and can help keep activity fun and engaging. Not only will this ensure a foundation to help your dog succeed in NACSW™ trials, it will also be beneficial when competing in other Scent Work competition organizations as well.

When you enroll in the Introduction to Scent Work course, you will also receive free access to the Comprehensive Scent Work Glossary.
