🐶 Go on a Dog’s Nose Work Adventure!
Discover the power of your dog’s nose using fun, scent-based games — no fancy equipment needed!

🌟What It's All About
In this playful introduction to nose work, your dog will learn how to tap into their amazing sense of smell using simple, everyday items you already have at home — think boxes, beach towel, muffin tins, and more!
Whether your pup is a curious puppy, a high-energy explorer, or a wise old sniffer, this class is designed to engage their brain, burn off energy, and build confidence in a fun, relaxed way. Cost is $25 per dog - paid at class (exact change preferred or check payable to Sammi Maon).

🐾Benefits of Nose Work

• 🧠 Mental stimulation that’s deeply satisfying
• 🧘 Stress relief and focus for anxious or reactive dogs
• 💪 Physical exercise (without the chaos)
• 🤝 Strengthens your bond through teamwork
• 🏡 Easy to continue at home with household items

🐕Great for All Dogs
Puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, couch potatoes — even dogs recovering from injury can benefit.

👜What to Bring

• 🐕‍🦺 Your dog on a leash (no retractable!)
• 🍗 High-value treats and your dog's evening meal
• 🏖️ Beach towel - make sure it's colorful!
• 🧺 Small containers or boxes – such as Tupperware, shoeboxes, or cardboard boxes
• 🧁Cupcake/muffin tin and balls (as many balls as you have)

📌Do no feed your dog after 10AM on the day of the class.

Limited to 8 dogs. The class is held in a retail space, so dogs should be comfortable in an enclosed area. Note: this class is NOT ideal for dogs who are especially difficult to handle.

When you RSVP, you'll be asked "Are you bringing anyone?" Leave the number at 0 unless you plan to bring more than one dog. If you wish to bring a 2nd dog, you must have a 2nd handler who has his/her own Meetup account who must also RSVP.

If you are unable to attend this class, please cancel your registration ASAP and preferably 24 hours before the scheduled date/time to give a person on the waitlist ample notice
