Nose Work is for all dogs!

 So what I LOVE about Nose Work is that any dog can do it. 

A confident dog (Gramercy)
A fearful/under confident dog  (D'light)
A fearful/reactive dog (Catty)

These are the current dogs in our house and you will see that each of them "work" the boxes differently but the end result is the same.  Each dog "wins" the prize of an awesome treat and each is feeling pretty confident and thrilled with themselves!


Gramercy is a confident boy who is ready to work his nose




"Really?! This is just way too easy"




Kicking it up a notch and way to go Gramercy!




Notice how much slower D'light moves compared to Gramercy.





Catty is a fearful/reactive dog - a complicated combo!  She loves this game and as you can see she's always up for a challenge - notice the flaps and how she maneuvers the food box.




This really is a fun game for any dog and easy to do at home. So go find some boxes and let your dog have fun while you sit there with a big smile on your face!
