Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The beauty of nose work is that any dog can play!   All breeds, young or old, short or tall!


If you want to compete you can.  Competition adds a level of challenge and the K9 Nose Work community is a fun welcoming environment.


Another plus about nose work is that it requires no special equipment - a flat collar or harness and a lead are all you need.  The nose is already included!

Once the dogs are "on odor", we hold classes at local parks, schools, churches and stores.  They learn to search in a variety of environments and under different conditions.
