Nosework is a popular activity that taps into your dogs' natural scenting abilities. Dogs are trained to locate specific scents hidden within various environments, such as indoor spaces, outdoor areas, or vehicles. It mimics the work of detection dogs, like those used in law enforcement or search and rescue operations.

Handlers typically start by introducing their dogs to a particular scent, often using essential oils or specific target odors. As the dogs progress in training, they learn to search for and indicate the location of the target scent.
