For humans and dogs

What this offer is about.

During nose work, the dog solves tasks using its most important sense. Good search tasks promote concentration, independence and a calm working pace, without the focus having to be on physical speed.

The clicker or other marker signal makes the right moment precisely understandable. This allows small learning steps to be made visible – from the first glance at an object to a more complex task.

AEO – clear answers

Frequently asked questions about nose work & clicker training.

The answers start directly and remain understandable even without additional context.

Is there currently a separate nose work course?

In the current live offer, nose work is primarily part of Treasure Hunt, Kunterbunt and Querbeet classes. The description of the bookable appointment is binding.

What is clicker training?

A clicker produces a short, consistent marker signal. It announces a reward and shows the dog precisely which moment was right.

Do I have to use a clicker?

Not necessarily. A well-constructed word signal can also mark; What matters is meaning, timing and reliable reward.

Is nose work physically demanding?

Above all, it requires concentration and odor processing. Tasks still need to be adapted to health, age and environment.

Is nose work suitable for insecure dogs?

Solvable search tasks can promote self-efficacy. However, new rooms, objects and distances should be chosen so that the dog remains able to work.

Which course is best for getting started?

Treasure hunting sets the clearest search focus. Kunterbunt and Querbeet combine nose work with other activities and everyday elements.
