Interested in trying a new activity with your dog? A 6-week K9 Nose Work class is starting Saturday May 5, 12:30-2 in Concord. It's fun for canines and humans; dogs learn to use their noses to find first food and then specific odors in four "elements" (containers, interiors, exteriors, and vehicles). Handlers are in charge of rewarding finds and managing practice sessions to gradually increase hide difficulty.
Since only one dog works at a time, while others are crated, Nose Work is great for shy and aggressive dogs. The focused brain work provides a real workout for retired or recovering sport dogs (and their people) too, with few physical requirements.
