Use your dog's superpower for fun and competition! Nosework is a new sport that is mushrooming in popularity around the world. Any dog can learn to find and alert to odors - senior dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, big dogs, little dogs, fast dogs and slow dogs.

 

Kathy teaches the dogs to find odor in the very first lesson.

 

Her students are competing in NACSW, AKC, and USCSS scentwork trials.

​

Classes meet at various places in and around Colorado Springs.
