Nose work is a scent training sport for canines. The sport requires the dog to find different scents in multiple environments. This includes indoors and outdoors. It became popular around 2006 and was created by three professional trainers. These trainers worked with certified detection canines. They created K9 Nose Works in hopes to have any canine companion to be able to benefit from Nose Works. For the dogs, Nose Works is physical activity, and confidence building activity. It can bond the handler and the canine. The only supplies you need for this sport is dog treats and cardboard boxes. If you and your dog would like to join competition's for this sport, there are formal competitions. To join these competitions, you have to sign up and join the National Association for Canine Scent Work.  If you're interested, there's workshops and competitions you can go to all over the United States.
