Nosework is the fastest-growing dog sport & it's easy to see why!
Nosework is a lot of fun, & anyone or any dog can do it! It also depletes dogs' energy—as we know, a tired dog is a good dog! It's also easy to do at home, with minimal supplies & cost!
Nosework is also a phenomenal tool for confidence building! Most pet dogs will show a great improvement in obedience simply due to an increase in confidence. A confident dog is able to do obedience in a variety of places without being hypervigilant.
