Scent Work
In AKC Scent Work, dogs sniff out cotton swabs that contain essential oils of Birch, Anise, Clove, and/or Cypress. These cotton swabs are hidden in a search area and the dog has to sniff them out. Once the dog finds the odor, they have to identify to their handler, who then lets the judge know. Golden Retrievers are often very good at scent work!
NSGRC often holds scent work classes for beginners and advanced students.
