At Bell Creek, we work hard to teach both dogs and handlers how to work as a team and our Scent Work classes are a great way to keep building your team. In Scent Work, dogs are taught to recognize different odors and how to let us know when they have found them. These classes are great for dogs of any age whether you choose to compete or not as it is not as physical as some of the other dog sports and still helps to tire their brains as you are asking them to think. Our Scent Work classes are only taught by instructors that actively and successfully compete in the sport.
All of our Scent Work classes meet once per week for six weeks unless otherwise noted under the description on the sign up page. Please see below for full class descriptions. If you are unsure if a class is right for you, you may contact us for assistance and possible evaluation. If you are transferring from another facility or program and are not sure where you should start, please contact us and we would be happy to help you find the right class for you. Like Bell Creek on Facebook to receive notification when new classes are posted as well as to see what our students, and of course, our own dogs are up to.
For your ease we have listed all of our upcoming sessions to the right of the class descriptions. These are the start dates for each session and not the list of class dates. If you do not see the class you would like on our upcoming list, you may sign up on our wait list or please contact us and we can notify you when it does become available.
To guarantee your spot in class, it must be paid for prior to the start of class. Full refunds will be given if for any reason the class is cancelled. Full refunds (minus any online service fees) are given to students who withdraw 10+ days before the start of class. Refunds in the amount of 50% will be given to those withdrawing from class with less than 10 days until the start of the class. No refunds will be given after the start of the class session.
Girls in season are not allowed, but are allowed to make up classes when they come out of season.
