experienced, compassionate canine nosework instruction in Santa Fe, Nm.

because all dogs are born to sniff.

K9 Nose Work® (K9NW) is an activity and sport that was inspired by the model of working detection dogs. It provides companion and sport dogs a joyful outlet for their innate hunting and scenting abilities. Our goal is for you and your dog to have fun, as we work together to build your dog’s confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills. You will learn to observe, listen and understand what your dog is communicating to you, as your dog becomes the teacher and you are the student. Take a step into their world, as you learn to view it from the perspective of your dog’s nose!
