What do dogs love to do?  Sniff of course!  Dog's sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,00 times greater than your or my sense of smell.  Why not put that joy to work for you and your dog.

Scent work takes this innate desire and turns it into a game.  It is a terrific sport for all kinds of dogs both young and old alike.  It is a wonderful way to build confidence in a shy dog and build a lasting relationship with your dog.
