What is K9 Nose Work?
K9 Nose Work is a search game that almost all dogs and their people can enjoy together. It uses your dog’s natural inclination to seek out a favorite treat or toy reward hidden in one of several boxes. With practice and focus, the game can expand to include searching a variety of locations and even vehicles.
Who is Nose Work For?
K9 Nose Work is a searching game that any dog and human team can play. It engages both physical and mental exertion, making it perfect for young high energy dogs or older & otherwise physically challenged dogs.
Dogs who struggle with other dogs love K9 Nose Work class because search games are always played one dog at a time. While a single dog searches the others are crated separately or await their turn from the comfort of their own vehicle.
Dogs and people of all skill levels can enjoy K9 Nose Work Advanced levels focus on the addition of special target odors for your dog to search out. This allows for more complex puzzles and endless search possibilities and prioritizes teamwork and communication.

NACSW was the first competitive dog sport organization for scent work and focuses on dog-driven searches, consistency in training through the Education Division of their instructor program, and a high level of standards in competition through their Trial Division.
