The goal of our Ongoing Nose Work programs is to fine-tune your handling skills, to expand your dog’s knowledge and confidence in searching new and different areas, and to perfect your dog’s alert. Teamwork with your dog will be emphasized. Searches of different types will be utilized: containers, exteriors, interiors and vehicles. 

For those interested in competing, these classes will help prepare both you and your dog for Nose Work competition. For those not interested in competing, these weekly classes are a great way to continue to the Nose Work fun with your dog.

These advanced level classes will be held at varying locations to increase the challenge level. Classes may be held in the WAGD facility, on the surrounding grounds and at locations in the vicinity of the training center.
