Treibball & Nosework specialty training for fun!

What is Treibball (pronounced Tribe-ball)?
It originated in Germany a little over 10 years ago, and means “push ball”. Treibball is a low-cost, low-impact sport, any dog and handler can play. If your dog has a nose or a shoulder, he can play Treibball! The game is simple to play and train, and only requires a few fitness balls, some treats and a love of working with your dog. Your dog learns to target the balls, and then goes out into a playing field and pushes balls to you, with direction and control. The game is timed, with only one dog and handler team on the field, so mildly reactive dogs can participate too. Fun and communication between the human and canine partners is the true essence of this game.

NOsework
Inspired by working detection dogs, K-9 Nosework is the fun search and scenting activity for virtually all dogs and people. This easy to learn activity and sport builds confidence and focus in many dogs, and provides a safe way to keep dogs fit and healthy through mental and physical exercise. Even elderly dogs, dog reactive dogs, shy dogs, and dogs lacking obedience skills necessary for other sports can do Nosework.
K-9 Nose Work starts with getting your dog excited about using his nose to seek out a favorite toy or treat reward hidden in one of several boxes, expanding the game to entire rooms, exterior areas, and vehicles. As your dog grows more confident with his nose, target odors are introduced, and competition skills are taught.
The only way to know for sure how much you and your dog will love Nose Work is to attend a workshop!
This workshop is not necessary if you are familiar with Nosework. --- 1-time meeting ~45 mins, $30
