The Friendly Bark

Did you know that scent work is one of the best ways to provide mental enrichment for your dog? Join us at The Friendly Bark for a beginner-friendly Nosework Seminar taught by professional trainer Alexis Brinkley of Canine Savvy Training.

During this one-hour seminar, you'll learn fun scent-based games, beginner nosework exercises, and easy ways to engage your dog's natural sniffing instincts at home. Nosework helps build confidence, reduce boredom, provide mental stimulation, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

Whether you have a puppy, adult dog, or senior dog, nosework is a rewarding activity that dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels can enjoy!
