Every dog is equipped with an amazing tool: their nose! Olfaction, the act or process of smelling, is a dog’s primary special sense. Dogs have more than 220 million olfactory receptors in their nose, while humans have only 5 million! Humans see much of their world using their eyes, Dogs see much of the world utilizing their nose. Teaching dogs to use their nose to identify a target odor offers many benefits. There are nationwide sports and competitions in K9 Nose work. It builds rapport and cooperation in our dogs; it is also makes for a relaxed dog working their vomeronasal organ and those nerves connected to their brain.
