Nose Work Games

Put your dog's nose to the test in a fun, but competitive nosework game!

What's included in a Nosework Game? 

Each nosework game is held at our dedicated Training & Behaviour Centre 
​

Test out the skills you have learnt on the Beginners Scent Work Course or the Scent Detection for Reactive Dogs Course (dogs will compete individually) or have reached a point where they work to odour (whether trained elsewhere or self-taught)

 

Each Nosework Game has a theme and tea & cake is provided

 

There will be a qualified trainer leading the class, with a maximum of 8 dogs per session

​

The dog who detects all of the scents in the quickest time wins!
