NRGRR Pilot Nosework Program for Foster Dogs

NRGRR has partnered with All Dogs Allowed in Cary to offer Introduction to Nosework classes to our fosters and their foster dogs! If you have a current foster, or you have adopted your foster within the last 12 months the fee is paid by NRGRR. It's an excellent enrichment program for any dog, especially shy, senior, in heartworm treatment, or with dogs mobility issues. It builds confidence, teaches problem solving skills, helps them relax, and provides mental stimulation. All while they're doing what comes naturally to them--sniffing! The first class was held September 5th and everyone--even the dogs--had a blast!

What is canine nosework? Check out the NACSW webpage, What is K9 Nose Work®?

This is a pilot program. If you're interested in learning more about these classes send an email to NRGRRinfo@gmail.com. Please write Nosework in the subject field.
