What’s so Therapeutic about Nose Work?
Nose Work, scent work, sniff work – I think we all understand the value of letting our dogs use their nose. Why is it so valuable to them? Lots of possibilities for us to explore there, and we will.
But saying “go to nose work classes, its great for shy / reactive / fill in the problem behaviour here dogs” as a general statement is wrong and quite simply potentially dangerous.
So what do we need to look for when we have a dog that desperately needs the therapy side a nose work class can offer? That’s what we will explore in this session through real examples – both failure and successes.
Time: 1.00pm – 4.30pm
