Nose Work: Every Dog Can Do It!
Thanks for stopping by! Agile Paws Dog Sports specializes in K9 Nose Work®. Agile Paws provides quality nose work classes and exceptional Nose Work trials. If you are not familiar with the fast growing sport of Nose Work, you owe it to your dog to find out more! Your dog will thank you.
Nose Work is a fun sport for our companion dogs based on the law enforcement detection dog training. Three professional detection dog handlers modified the training used for their dogs and introduced it to their friends’ dogs. It was a hit and from those humble beginnings NACSW™ and the sport of K9 Nose Work® has grown. In 2009 there were 4 NACSW™ events. In 2016 there were 140 events and every year there are more trials and more dogs and their handlers learning the sport. Even if you have no intention in competing, it’s an enjoyable activity for you to share with your dog. And if you are interested in challenges, you can always test you and your dogs skills in trials. Our motto is “Every Dog Can Do It.” No matter the age or limitation every dog can participate in Nose work. All they need is a nose!
Every dog has a nose—why not give your dog a chance to show you how amazing their sniffer really is?
