The following are some things to consider as you are making this decision. You may have a preference for taking one instruction, which is nice when you have a dog that is easily distracted; however, if your dog can focus its attention, you can choose a class with other dogs, which is great for the socialization of your dog.

To explore that, you will need two things with strong, characteristic smells and, of course, your nose. The idea is to smell a different smell with each nostril (鼻孔). Hold one smell very close to your right nostril, and the other smell very close to your left nostril.
