Feature Article: Bozeman Daily Chronicle - K9 Nose Work
K9 Nose Work® might be the greatest game ever and your dog is already the expert!
Inspired by working police and military detection dogs, it's a great sport for people and dogs of all ages and all abilities.
Why try K9 Nose Work®??
Please Note: We welcome ALL students of Nose Work to our classes, regardless of training method and/or background. In turn, we ask that you understand and respect that our classes are taught via K9 Nose Work® methodology. This could include revisiting foundation skills and pairing. It will never include clicker training or marking a behavior at source. We may require a private consultation to ensure new teams, already on odor, are matched to the correct class. We have a proven track record of repairing foundation in dogs from all training backgrounds, many of whom have gone on to compete successfully or simply improved their game all the way around. We look forward to working with you!!
