Scentwork Demonstration

Did you know that Inside your dog's nose, there are about 300 million smell receptors, compared to a human's six million? Join Kassie Woods in the Main Arena as she displays the four areas and progression of scentwork. This is set to be a great display to give us all ideas of how to enrich our dogs' lives through their noses.
