Getting nosy in West Roxbury
An event for pet parents is scheduled in West Roxbury.
Sit Pretty Dog Training is starting its next class for dog parents, the Intro to K9 Nose Work (Level 1). Nose work is fun for dogs of all sizes, ages, and physical fitness levels, as it gives the dogs a chance to develop their ability to sniff out odors. Owners will observe the training, which gives them the chance to learn the subtle body language of their dog while the animal learns a new skill. The session is conducted as a game, which allows the dogs to learn on their terms, while strengthening their bond with their owners.
During the session, each dog will be alone in the building to give it time to build independence and confidence when it is off its leash. This means other dogs in the course will either have to be kept outside the building, or in crates inside, so the working dog isn’t distracted.
Organizers will send an email to people who register for the sessions, explain logistics, weather considerations, safety, and FAQs. When they develop events like this, organizers will often use flyer printing to develop instruction sheets.
The first session is March 1, from 1.00 pm until 1.50 pm, at the Theodore Parker Unitarian Church. There are six sessions in the course, and the remaining five will follow on recurring Saturdays: March 8, 15, and 22, and April 5 and 12. However, there is no session on March 29.
