Sniffing actually activates the seeking system part of their brain releasing dopamine, which results in an increase in their attention and feeling of motivation. All and all, it will make your dog feel good, raise their confidence and provide dogs of all temperaments, health stages or age ranges an outlet for exercising themselves mentally in a safe and fun environment. For the first few weeks of class, we will be building up their drive to search for food as well as learning how to incorporate adding a start line, creating a routine and showing you how to interpret your dog's body language. We will then start to move away from searching for food to learn how to signal for the odor of birch. Dogs must be four months or older, have up-to-date Rabies and Bordetella vaccinations prior to the first class and not be aggressive on leash (i.e excessive barking, lunging, snapping, etc.) towards people or other dogs.
