Looking for fun and different ways to keep your dog active and burning off energy? Winter weather and shorter daylight hours can make it especially difficult to burn off your dog’s energy during the winter months, though fun ways to burn off energy are good for any time of the year. This class is less about “obedience” training and more about teaching your dog to put his nose to work. Some dogs are naturals, others could use some help learning to use their noses better. This class focuses on a variety of nosework and scenting activities to help your dog have fun and burn off energy.

This class is for dogs who are reactive toward other dogs while on leash. Reactivity could include such behaviors as barking, whining, growling, pulling toward, lunging at, hiding from or trying to run from other dogs. Some of these dogs are fine off leash with other dogs. Some are not. Some dogs are simply excited and want to play. Some dogs would fight with other dogs given the chance. Others are insecure and afraid of other dogs. Regardless of the underlying cause of the displayed behaviors, our goal is to help our dogs feel better about the situation and learn how to make better choices in the presence of other dogs. Dogs must have completed a minimum of a Behavior Consultation with the Trainer and received permission from the Trainer in order to participate in this class.
