Scent Work
Group Classes in Lynnwood
Scent work is an absolutely fantastic game to play with your dog! It's a canine sport that mimics the work of bomb detection dogs, medical alert dogs etc. It channels your dog’s natural desire to sniff into a fun, rewarding activity that you can do together as a team.

All fully vaccinated dogs ages 4 months+
Total Workout
Did you know that just 15-20 minutes of scent work can tire out an energetic dog more than an hour-long physical run? (source: American Kennel Club).
Calming
Research indicates that sniffing can lower a dog's heart rate. It naturally helps hyperactive, anxious, or easily overstimulated dogs decompress and settle down.

Confidence Boost
Shy or timid dogs gain a massive confidence boost from taking the lead and successfully "solving" scent puzzles on their own.
Teamwork
In scent work, the dog in the expert and you act as their supportive partner. This shared experience - where you must listen to, trust, and follow your dog's lead - builds a unique bond, mutual respect, and clear communication.
