Why Try Scent Work?
Scent work is more than a game; it’s a fantastic mental workout for your pet, especially older dogs or those who are less mobile. This dog sport builds focus, provides relaxation for reactive pets, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Scent work encourages mental sharpness and supports a calm, rewarding connection between you and your pet.
Don’t Miss Out! RSVP today to secure your spot for this interactive experience that will bring you and your dog closer than ever. Empowering the human-animal connection through fun and "paws-itive" movement!
