Scent Work

Intro to Sports Sampler – Starting Tuesday, 4/14/26 at 7pm

Not sure which sport is for you? With our sampler class, you’ll go through three classes of Rally and three classes of Scent Work! Learn the basics of what each sport entails, their respective set ups, and what skills are required for each. You may learn you’re all about refined leash walking and impressive tricks! Or, you discover the joy in watching your dog search their environments like detectives to uncover different scents. Both sports offer novelty, so if you’re looking to spice up your training rotation, this class will scratch that itch!

Dates for the 6 week course are: 4/14, 4/21, 4/28, SKIP 5/5, 5/12, 5/19, and 5/26.

Prerequisites for Classes

Sports classes require students from our membership classes to be in the Middle School or higher levels.

If you are new to BlueDog, we ask that you have a general knowledge of marker/clicker training, use positive reinforcement methods, and your dog does not display any reactivity, aggression, or disruptive behaviors like barking, lunging, and/or extensive pulling. Your dog must be able to relax in the classroom environment, and potentially hang out for extended periods of time while waiting for their turn to work. Having some general cues like sit, down, and/or heel would be helpful as well.

Class Set Up & Expectations

Our sports classes are generally capped to 4-6 students depending on experience levels. You can expect to work on some skills together as a class, and also practice individually in the middle of the room. Your dog may have some down time waiting for their turn, and will be working around other moving dogs within close proximity of each other.

Classes are full or already started! What can I do?

It is always our goal to have continued offerings for our sports classes. Generally, a new round will begin 1-2 weeks after the current round. If you'd like to be notified of our upcoming classes, please email us at hello@bluedogpetcare.com or call/text us at 978-208-7933. You will be added to our waitlist and emailed with updates!
