The sport of nose work was created to provide an opportunity for our companion dogs to have an outlet for their natural hunting and scenting abilities and was inspired by the model of working detection dogs.  Sue Ruesch and Trish Nienow started N.E.W K9 Scent Work LLC in Green Bay WI to provide opportunities to enjoy & pursue this sport.
