Nosework

K9 Nose Work® is a fun and engaging activity inspired by professional detection dogs. It taps into a dog’s natural hunting and scenting instincts, providing both mental stimulation and physical exercise. Our program is built on the foundation of positive reinforcement, making it an ideal choice for dogs of all temperaments, including those who may be fearful, reactive, or aggressive.

​

Private Sessions for Special Needs Dogs

Recognizing that every dog has unique needs, Wiggle Butt Academy is offering specialized private sessions tailored for dogs who may feel uncomfortable in traditional training settings. These sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where fearful, reactive, or aggressive dogs can unleash their most powerful scenting abilities and gain confidence through positive reinforcement techniques.
