Sniff and Search
The aim of this class is to teach the already enhanced sense of smell to find different scents in unusual circumstances and items. This form of mental stimulation not only calms a dog but helps calm and tire them. It is a brilliant way of having an activity and working with your dog whether it is for competition or just for fun!!
