K9 Nose Work - Level 2

If your dog has completed and been successful in K9 Nosework, but you're looking to take them to the next level in scent detection, this might be the class for you. In this class, there is potential to work on more intricate, difficult hides (including outdoor work), signaling, or scent discrimination. Just like in Beginner K9 Nosework, we'll continue to use hidden food as a reward in this fun canine sport. The skills learned in this class will help you keep your dog engaged, challenged, and enriched, all while enjoying themselves indoors or out during this fun game. 5/5 dogs would recommend.

COST: $150

Includes class handouts, clicker, and certificate of completion. Proceeds from registration fees support the animals and programs at Lollypop Farm. Thank you! Class Size: No more than four (4) dogs per session. Length of Class One 45-60 minute class for six weeks.
