Dog Talk with Julie is all about nose work training. It’s an amazing activity that helps dogs burn off extra energy and build confidence. Nose work, however, is not obedience training. In fact, we have a saying “there are no no’s in nose work” because we let the dog lead the search and we make sure it is a joyful experience for both dog and owner!
If you need some obedience help with your dog, here are some good trainers in the area that I recommend.
