K9 Scent Work - It's a Fun Game

Phoebe searching boxesAnother Paws-A-Tive Choice student shared her experience about the K9 Scent Work-Fun class with her dog, Phoebe. I am thrilled my students have enjoyed this class. There is a lot more to come. The fun is just beginning!

"I didn’t know what to expect when Kathy mentioned rolling out her new class, K9 Scent Work-Fun. The information Kathy provided stated this was a new sport and is a fun game for the dogs to use their keen sense of smell. All the dogs in our class have so much personality and really enjoyed their turns at the game. They are so smart and I like to think each one knew they were entertaining all of us pooch parents.

My 4 ½ year old dog,  Phoebe has so much energy to Phoebe finds the hide under the laundry basketbegin with; this was a great way for her to release her energy while figuring out where the treasure-treat was hidden. It was also comforting to see Phoebe become more confident putting her cute little head into the boxes and objects each week, since she was pretty timid at the beginning. We play the game at home and she just loves it!

Allison rewards Phoebe for finding the hideI appreciate Kathy giving us the opportunity to try out this new and special class. Kathy does all the hard work to study, stay on top of everything that’s going on in her field, prepare and create an environment where our dogs and us can just have fun."  Allison Verstappen
