On March 5, Ms. Melissa Stagnaro put on a Nosework Workshop for the Nutts 4 Mutts Club. Club members learned how to begin training their dogs to search for a specific scent using cardboard boxes and their dogs’ favorite treats. While the dog was not looking, a treat was put in one of several boxes. Then the member would guide her dog to go from box to box to sniff for the one with the treat. The members showed themselves to be good handlers and the dogs caught on quickly. They were able to do several run-throughs and can continue practicing at home.
The Nutts 4 Mutts monthly meeting was held on March 19. After the business portion, members and guests played “Canine Jeopardy.” This was a fun way to test their knowledge of dog facts, trivia, anatomy, and famous pooches.
