Dog love to sniff! Dogs NEED to sniff! And yes there are lots of things they can sniff for! (Google is your friend with this!) The sport of NOSEWORK or SCENT WORK is a very cool activity for all dogs!

After researching the sport, I started taking online nosework classes from the Fenzi Dog Sport Academy and was immediately hooked on the training. Jake's 5 year journey from zero to UKC Champion and AKC Master Elite and Detective is documented on his website, Rock Star Jake . Naturally, because I love the sport, I plan to teach it to Mookie.
