The Little Nose that Knows

The Little Nose that Knows The Little Nose that Knows specializes in Scent Detection training for pets and sport competition. Primary focus is SDDA (Sporting Detection Dog Assoc).

The Little Nose is focuses on training scent detection to ANY dog, we promote the sport as a game the old, young, shy or rambunctious dog can play. It makes a great game for cold winter days and we also promote the sport competition, primarily SDDA (Sporting Detection Dog Association) guidelines with expansion into UKC, SDS, C-WAGS. And we are learning and growing all the time, no type of sport de

tection is off limits. In partnership with other hobbyist dog sport lovers we also offer Rally Obedience (Rally O), drop in practices, seminars and host trials. We are adding to our educational repertoire all the time, so you never know what we will have for you next! We strive to promote a positive atmosphere for all dogs and handlers/owners who cross our path. We hope to amplify interest in dog sports in the community. My education in Scent Detection is by no means complete, I believe every instance offers something new and we are always growing. Some of my training includes: Andrew Ramsey Nosework method,mentoring workshops with multiple SDDA judges, and am in the process of completing Gold Level Fenzi dog NW training. Every year I choose to participate in educational opportunities so I always have something new to offer my students. Above all, we have fun at Little Nose and our smiles show it. :)

Shout out to our sponsors!! Events are always better with prizes and donated prizes are the BEST! We so appreciate each person/company who donates items that help make our events even better.

Today's featured sponsor is Dawgs Bakery. If your dogs love cookies, the they will love the variety of home made cookies, dog ice cream and even custom made doggy cakes!

For our event we got a variety of cookies so that each dog could go home with a treat and Jessie got her very own birthday cake - since we were celebrating her birthday after all! Deb from Dawgs outdid my expectations on this cake! She also donated some cookies to the event, my favorites were the yogurt dipped, they looked so cute!

We're grateful for the support of this local business. If you are from Red Deer area you can check them out at the indoor and outdoor markets year round, they also carry home made tugs, meaty bones and some other goodies for your Dawgs!

I had the pleasure of photographing the The Little Nose that Knows SDDA Sanctioned Scent Detection Event, and it was such a cool experience to watch the dog-and-handler teams work together. Every dog approached each room differently, and seeing those unique problem-solving styles was fascinating. I loved every minute of it!

If you are ever looking for something fun to do with your dog, scent detection is an amazing activity, and something you can start training right at home in your own living room!

Thank you Kristina Denise for inviting me to this event!
