Treasure Hunt In this engaging nose work class, dogs tap into their natural hunting instincts as they sniff out "treasure" — hidden treats or scented toys — in a variety of fun environments. The instructor sets up increasingly challenging searches: starting with easy visible hides in a room or yard, then progressing to buried treats under mats, inside boxes, or tucked into corners, or outdoor terrain. Handlers learn to read their dog’s focused sniffing signals while giving them freedom to explore independently.The class emphasizes success and fun, using positive reinforcement to build confidence, mental focus, and problem-solving skills. Shy or anxious dogs often blossom as they realize their powerful nose makes them the hero of the hunt, while high-energy dogs get satisfying mental workouts that leave them happily tired. Sessions end with wagging tails and proud pups eagerly awaiting the next treasure adventure.
