Intro to Nose Work
This 6-week class introduces dogs and their humans to the sport and methodology of K9 Nose Work®. Dogs start by searching for their favorite food or toy reward hidden in a variety of environments, increasing the challenges and adding new search skills as the dog progresses.

Class is limited to 6 dogs.
Classes will be held at Canine Einstein, 1601 E Oklahoma Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207.

Intro to Odor
This course introduces the odors used in K9 Nose Work. The course builds on all of the foundation exercises done in the Intro to K9NW class but with odor. Typically the first target odor (Birch) is used during the term of this course. The concept of pairing is introduced which serves to condition the dog to odor and to develop good sourcing through self-reward. The searches may also expand in difficulty, whether to other rooms, or outdoors.

Continuing Nose Work
This class is for dogs fluent on all three NACSW odors (birch, anise, and clove) and experience with interiors, exteriors, vehicles, and containers. We will work on handler skills, longer searches, new environments, blind hides, and reading our dogs. This class is for both handlers who intend to trial and those who do not.
