We don't have to teach dogs how to use their noses - they can already do that with exceptional skill.
Nosework is intensely interesting for the dogs and ensures a well relaxed stress-free sleep on the way home.
The exciting part is teaching your dog how to search in specific patterns and let you know what they have found.
We can teach dogs to find substances - the most intoxicating is vanilla or peppermint, we can teach them to recognise people from samples and match different substances together.
Depending on the weather we may be able to enjoy some outdoor tracking.
We learn to see the world through the dog's eyes, oops nose!
Please bring a favourite toy or two for this day.
