Dogs were born to use their noses! Sniffing is great for mental stimulation, and a game of hide and seek with odor is very fulfilling and easy to do!

Please choose which you would like to register for at the link below.

 We will teach your dog to recognize and locate odors hidden in various environments using four basic essential oils. We will start with Birch and progress to Clove and double finds in all four elements by the last week of class. A kit with all FOUR odors in included with your Beginner registration.

This is a group class, 7 weeks long, $190

Hunting is very natural for most dogs; chasing squirrels, rabbits, and other vermin is fun and exciting. Rat Hunt is a game of hide and seek between your dog and a live rat! Rats are protected in PVC tubes, then hidden in straw piles for your dog to sniff out and find!
