Kudos for Canines is the best place in Central Illinois to get your dog started in Nose Work/Scent Work. Whether you’re looking to take your dog to the Summit of competition or if you’re wanting something to keep Fluffy busy, we’re offering another one of our rare Intro to Nose Work classes (Saturdays at 4:30pm)! This is a great class for anyone who’s taken our Sniffari classes.
We also have a wide selection of classes for teams already on target odors (birch, anise, and clove).
On Friday, 1/2/26 at 4:30pm, we have a Drop-in Mock Odor Recognition Test. This is a great opportunity to practice you and your dog’s ORT skills.
On Saturday mornings we start the line up with Elite Class. This is for dogs that have their NW3-Elite titles with NACSW. We also have space in our ORT Prep Class (young teams learning about odor and odor obedience).
We have a LOT of teams that are currently strengthening their skills on odor, prepping for single hide searches or converging problems. So, understandably, we have a LOT of classes on a variety of different days and times. Our NW1/NW2 classes are for teams that are reliably communicating single accessible hides, or showing odor indication on inaccessibles below 4ft in height.
These are all kicking off in a week so check out our class schedule now! Drop us a message if you have any questions on which class is right for your dog.
