The Power of Sniffing: Leveraging Nose Work to Acclimate Foster and Shelter Dogs Webinar Instructor Nancy Reyes Explore the benefits of nose work exercises for foster and newly adopted shelter dogs, focusing on their acclimation, enrichment, confidence development, and relationship building with their new caregivers.

This webinar delves into the impactful role of Nose Work exercises in the acclimation process for foster and newly adopted shelter dogs. By engaging their natural sniffing instincts, these exercises provide essential mental and physical stimulation, promoting enrichment and reducing anxiety.

Participants will learn how to use Nose Work to help dogs develop confidence and form strong, positive relationships with their new caregivers. This session is tailored to meet the needs of foster parents, adopters, and professional instructors, offering practical strategies and techniques to ensure a smooth and successful transition for these dogs into their new homes.

Should You Take This Webinar

Foster Parents: Gain valuable insights into effective Nose Work exercises that facilitate a smoother adjustment for foster dogs, helping them build trust and feel more secure in their temporary homes.

Adopters: Learn how to incorporate enriching activities into your daily routine to assist your newly adopted dog in acclimating to their permanent home, fostering a strong bond and sense of belonging.

Instructors and Trainers: Enhance your toolkit with advanced techniques to guide foster parents and adopters in implementing Nose Work exercises, ensuring a positive acclimation experience for the dogs under their care.

I have taken a nose work course from Nancy before, and I enjoy her presentations. This webinar was well-structured with clear and helpful guidelines and foundational information presented at the beginning. The videos illustrated the concepts, and Nancy's narration of the videos were very helpful.
