Welcome to the fascinating and exciting world of K9 Nose Work®!

Looking for a quick, easy and fun activity to tire your dog out? Does your dog need a job?  Is your dog a “worrier”, or does he bark and lunge at other dogs?  Whether mutt or purebred, young or old, active or mellow, fearful or reactive, K9 Nose Work may just be the solution for you!

NO PRIOR OBEDIENCE TRAINING REQUIRED.

K9 Nose Work provides mental and physical exercise and builds a dog’s confidence and focus.  In return, you will learn more about your dog and admire his superior scenting skills at work.  Enjoy a fun and “no pressure” activity together in a safe and controlled environment and develop an even stronger bond with your dog! Dogs are worked one at a time, and exercises are adapted to each handler/dog team. More about our K9 Nose Work services

Testimonials

Hi! My name is Sophie! The lady-who-loves-me-and-feeds-me (you humans call her Betsy) is always looking for things to do and ways to keep me busy. A year ago someone suggested this thing called K9 Nose Work®. We found a place in Bloomsburg called HeRo Canine Consulting run by a very nice lady named Silke! She convinced Betsy to just let me be a dog and use my nose the way it was intended to be used!! How much fun is this!!! I get to sniff out food and odor, and Silke is teaching Betsy how to stay out of my way – until I might need her! It’s the BEST!! You should really give it a try. Your dog will thank you and you’ll have a great time – Betsy and I sure do!!

As my introduction to Canine NoseWork, Silke has been marvelous! She is able to combine a wealth of knowledge about dogs, an understanding of canine scenting skills, and a natural ability to teach humans with an approachable, friendly manner to create classes that are both enjoyable (for dogs AND humans) and productive.

Edy and I look forward to every class–I only wish we lived closer than over an hour away!

BANKER ON PRIMARY - NOSE WORK SESSION VIDEO COMPILATIONMy friend Debbie brought her 4-month old Golden Retriever Banker to my nose work class for some exposure to novel environments (incl. shiny gym floor, tiled kitchen with distractors on the table and a full garbage can in the corner, a bunch of unknown people watching...). He's already done some box work with Debbie, and boy, he is a little confident and focused little super sniffer!!! In the last minute of this 2.5 minute compilation, he searched hard to find his treats on the lower board of the kitchen work table! Impressive!!!Thanks, Debbie, for letting me "play" with him, and it was great for my students to watch and remember why we all got addicted to K9 Nose Work in the first place :-). ...
