The Elemental Dog, LLC

The Elemental Dog, LLC Barb is a Certified Nose Work Instructor though the NACSW. K9 Nose Work (r) is a new, fast-growing sport for almost any dog.

She enjoys teaching K9 Nose Work(r) to dogs and handlers from around southeast Wyoming, northeast Colorado, and western Nebraska. Canine scent detection games encourage your dog to use his natural hunting and tracking abilities to locate target odors. K9 Nose Work is inspired by the work of professional detection dogs, but designed for companion dogs. Dogs first learn to search for food in boxes.

As the dog's skill and confidence grows, he will search entire rooms, exterior areas and even vehicles. Along the way, the target odors of birch oil, anise, oil, and clove oil are introduced. Only one dog works at a time in class. Because each dog works alone, fearful dogs and dog-reactive dogs can thrive in K9 Nose Work. If you have concerns with your dog's fears or behavior contact me and we can see how classes or lessons can be managed for your dog. Whether you compete in NACSW, USCSS, AKC, or UKC trials, you can learn the skills you need here.

An excellent podcast from Scent Work University. There are so many skills that are wrapped up in Scent Work/Nose Work. That's part of why the sport is so addicting!

There are many moving pieces when it comes to the activity of Scent Work. A common misconception is that Scent Work is easy: train dog to find thing, hide thing in area, dog finds thing, give dog cookie. Yet, to accomplish even this watered down version of Scent Work requires concentrated work and f...
