Dog Detection Classes

DOG DETECTION CLASS!

Nero Dog Training is pleased to host the best dog detection class for pet dogs in the city of Amsterdam!

With our 4 week specialised course, you and your dog will learn how to condition and detect a specific scent, just like the real working dogs! Scent work is a game changer and becoming increasingly popular within the dog training industry due to the multiple benefits. Nose work can help relax a dog, gifts them with a purpose/job and encourages a team mindset between dog and handler. It’s a fantastic and versatile activity that can be used to help dogs that lack confidence as well as those who are constantly ”turned on.” It’s FUN for canines and humans alike and taps into your dogs natural ability. That canine sense of smell is a super power!

This 4 week course is suitable for the novice detection dog and those that have previously been introduced to scent work some time ago and wish to continue their journey towards level 2. The class is hosted in English.
