In this 6-week class, you’ll learn the initial foundation skills to enable your dog to discover and enhance their natural hunt drive, have fun, play, and build their curiosity and confidence. You and your dog will strengthen your bond utilizing their natural desire to hunt while having fun & burning energy, both mentally and physically. The primary goal is fun! Where dogs get to be dogs! Dogs work independently of each other and with their team handler.
This class is for any type of dog, regardless of breed, size or temperament, and is great for dogs that are shy or sensitive around other dogs, dogs with social or situational anxiety preventing them from joining typical training classes, dogs with hearing or sight impairments, or even those who are retired working dogs in need of a "job" to keep them busy and happy.
ℹ️ If your dog needs special attention because of shyness, reactivity, or sensitivity, please contact us before signing up.

This 6-week class continues the foundational concepts learned in Intro to K9 Nose Work® and takes the game to a new and more fun level, increasing dogs' natural scenting abilities and their desire to hunt. It uses problem solving techniques and games by raising the height of the "hide" (treat), beginning interior, exterior and vehicle searches!
✅ Prerequisite: Introduction to Nose Work® or instructor approval.
This 6-week class introduces the target oils, beginning with Birch followed by Anise and Clove. Utilizing the principles of K9 Nose Work® learned in the intro classes, it provides the foundation skills for competition, if desired, or just another level of fun for both the dog and handler. Teams will work box drills and indoor searches with an introduction to exterior searches on odor while continuing the fun and confidence building the dogs have so enjoyed.
✅ Prerequisite: Completion of Intro to K9 Nose Work® classes or instructor approval. Contact dogs@runwilddogsports.com with questions.
This class is for dogs of all levels, from brand new teams to more experienced search teams. If you are brand new to the sports/game or your dog needs special attention such as shyness, reactivity or sensitivity, please contact the instructor first at Training@runwilddogsports.com.
In this class, we will focus on all the foundation skills needed to be successful in any of the scenting sport organizations (AKC, NACSW, USCSS, or UKC etc). Exercises and games will be adjusted to fit the experience levels of each team. No prerequisite is required to enroll in this class. Any dog of any age, breed and size can enjoy a good sniffing game.
Please note that only one dog will be working at a time, so dogs that are not currently working will be left in your car until their turn. This class will be repeated to fine tune a dog's skills in all areas.
