Scent Detection
Is your dog obsessed with sniffing?
Scent Detection might be their sport!
Scent Detection is a dog sport open to dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages! This sport encourages dogs to exercise their natural instinct to sniff out a scent and communicate with their handler once they have located the scent in question. Scent detection can be done for fun or in a trial environment.
We are pleased to offer Scent Detection at three experience levels for students who have completed basic obedience training at Luv-A-K9.
