Nosework

Particularly great for adolescent or generally independent dogs to do something they take the lead on
Easy to set up and play at home!

Sample sports to see what you and your dog may enjoy, build confidence, or just have fun teaching your dog something new!
Great for dogs that need something to do with all that energy!
Tricks

Classes vary in which tricks are taught based on students goals and abilities
