Philosophy Our philosophy is to always put the dog first. It is why we developed K9 Nose Work®. To practice K9 Nose Work® is to commit to supporting your dog, listening to your dog, and trusting your dog, and to always keep it fun.
We believe that dogs are at their happiest when we allow them to learn on their terms, using their natural abilities, especially their amazing sense of smell.
We believe that the human-canine bond deepens when people experience obedience-free communication with their dogs.
The K9 Nose Work® philosophy is to embrace the journey and enjoy every moment of learning for you and your dog
Core Values Our core values help shape the culture of K9 Nose Work®, and influence every K9 Nose Work® class, workshop, and event.
Safety – for the physical and mental health & well-being of all dogs
Diversity – accepting dogs of all ages, temperaments, and physical fitness
Commitment – to the principles of positive, reward-based training
Trust – in the amazing ability of dogs to teach us how to better understand them
