AKC Scent Work | Intro to Dog Sports

AKC Scent Work rewards your dog for doing their favorite activity: sniffing! This fun sport mimics the task of working detection dogs, but rather than drugs or explosives, dogs search for a specified scent or odor. AKC Scent Work is open to all dogs, and dogs with physical limitations are encouraged to participate.
Come join the fun! Learn how to get started with this exciting and rewarding activity at bit.ly/akcscent....

Great promotional video! AND it's a great sport for almost any dog!

My German Pinschers love scent work. When they show signs of boredom all I have to do is open my scent box and pull out a target odor to hide.....they are animated! I have competed in NACSW and titled my boy at novice level and again now with AKC Scentwork...this is so easy to do....once you learn the basics for training a scent.

Beware - Nosework/Scentwork is very addictive! It's a great sport for handlers and dogs of all ages. My Dalmatians and I LOVE this sport!

The dog can be mixed breed but has to be registered with AKC??? I've always had rescue dogs but would love to do this with them.

My dogs love scent work. Dock diving is there favorite but scent work is a close second.

Great work with this video.

Where does one get a kit like the one used in this video, the one in the clear sealed box with the scents in small containers?

Do the dogs have to be AKC reg. ? I have a JRT.

[@jenniferredfern3930]

In order to earn a title they do have to have an AKC Registration or PAL Registration through AKC. Your JRT will love doing this I bet.
