HKC has Scent work classes starting
the first week of December:
Intro to Scent Work, Tuesday, Dec. 3rd at 8:00 pm
Intermediate Scent Work, Wednesday, Dec. 4th at 8:00 pm
Scent work, also known as nosework or scent detection, is a dog sport that teaches dogs to use their sense of smell to find scents and communicate their discovery to their handler and dogs of all ages can be good at it!:
How it works
In scent work, dogs search for hidden scents, such as cotton swabs saturated with essential oils, and then indicate to their handler that they've found the scent.
Benefits
Scent work can:
1. Improve focus and mental stimulation
2. Tire your dog out
3. Build confidence in shy dogs
4. Improve teamwork and the relationship
between you and your dog
5. Calm your dog down
6. Help your dog value staying close to you
