Another great video from our friends at the Humane Society of North Central Florida using K9 Nose Work as a part of their enrichment activities to keep the dogs in their care happy. Outstanding job, Jane, Nancy and Rita! Thanks!!
Echo Lesson 3
Echo K9 Nose Work Lesson 3
This is Echo’s third experience with K9 Nose Work. She searched boxes in her first two lessons and now we have put her reward out on some objects in the room. The video shows what happened. Blew her mind.
You can hear her sniffing like a freight train and see her exaggerated movements in the areas where her treats are. She’s determined to find them.
The results of K9 Nose Work: A happy dog. A tired dog. A more confident dog. A dog who is not bored all day.

Echo: K9 Nose Work Lesson 2
Here is Echo's second experience with K9 Nose Work. Her first being two weeks ago. She clearly remembered the fun of the search and went right to it. In this lesson, we introduced a few box challenges: box towers to build her confidence and boxes on their side to promote her using her nose as opposed to just checking the boxes to see if there is cheese in it. This sets her up for the next lesson where she will be finding her reward on objects in the room. She loves it!

Echo: K9 Nose Work Lesson 1
Here is Echo's first ever K9 Nose Work experience. Unlike Valero from last week, Echo came in lacking a little confidence. K9 Nose Work was a big step in the right direction for her. Judge for youself after watching the video. Email us at [email protected] to find out more.
Valero's first K9 Nose Work Shelter Program Experience
This is Valero's first experience with K9 Nose Work. He is a high energy dog, so we took him straight from his kennel to our training room, which is full of distrations (food, toys, dog smells). The video is a first take and is not edited.
Our friends and supporters at The Hounds Grounds (www.thehoundsgrounds.com) summed it up in a recent post..."Fulfillment and purpose is vital to the mental health of your dog!"
This is what K9 Nose Work achieves. Every dog has a natural instinct to hunt (search) using their most developed sense (smell) to solve the puzzles we set for them, and they love to solve puzzles.
K9 Nose Work is great for high energy dogs to calm them down and shy dogs to boost confidence (video on this later, we got it today too).
Contact us to find out how easy it is to set up a K9 Nose Work Shelter Program at your shelter or rescue. Your dogs will thank you.
Great K9 Nose Work Shelter Program video of some dogs having fun at the Humane Society of North Central Florida....
