Unlike other dog sports, Scent Work puts the dog in control, following their nose to locate hidden odors. With our training, your dog becomes the star of the show, leading the way to success. Trust in the power of your canine partner and embark on a journey of collaboration and communication like never before. Join us in fostering a stronger bond and deeper connection with your four-legged friend through the exciting world of Scent Work. Dogs are trained to search for scents like Birch, Anise, Clove, and Cypress hidden in specific areas. Through this method, dogs hone their natural abilities and strengthen their bond with their owners. Experience the thrill of watching your dog communicate with you through scent detection. These classes are offered at various intervals throughout the year. Please contact the club for more information.

For the dog just getting started in obedience that can work on- and off-leash. This is an ongoing class held every Thursday night of each month at 7:00, except on Member Match night. The prerequisite to joining this class: * Successfully completing a Basic Skills Class or testing into the class by a club instructor. * You must also be a club member in good standing. * Must have already earned a CD (Novice) title on a previous dog or must have been recommended to move up to this class by the Beginner Novice Instructor. Please contact the club if you are not sure you are eligible for this class. Exercises include: Heel on Leash and Figure Eight — this exercise is performed the same as in the Beginner Novice class. Stand for Examination — for this off-leash exercise the dog must stay in a standing position as its handler walks about 6 feet away. The judge will then lightly touch the dog on the head, body and hindquarters. Like in the Sit for Exam, the dog must not display any resentment. Heel Free — dogs will heel off-leash doing the same routine as they did on-leash, except they will not perform the Figure Eight. Recall — demonstrates that the dog will come to the handler on command. Sit Stay – Get Your Leash — this exercise is to demonstrate that the dog will remain in the sit position, while the handler goes to get the dog’s leash. Group Exercise – Sit & Down Stay — this exercise will demonstrate the dog’s ability to remain in the sit and down position, with other dogs in the ring and is performed on-leash.
