Scent Work

Scent Work is based on American Kennel Club Scent Work criteria and these classes will teach you and your dog the skills that lead to participation in the sport of AKC Scent Work. Your dog must wear a harness or flat collar that will not impede the dog’s breathing or stride. Dogs will be on-leash, preferably at least 10 feet long. Higher level classes may have off leash options. Instructor permission is needed to enter classes for which teams are not currently eligible
