This was a great intro to nosework! The information provided in this course was geared towards working with cats but much of it was helpful for working with other animals too. Hanna is a wonderful teacher- very knowledgeable and also very kind. The best way I can describe her teaching style is "joyful". Thank you, Hanna!

Yes, Cats!

Cats have their own species-specific traits in behavior, biology, and how they live with us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enrich their worlds in similar ways to how we interact with our dogs.

Nosework for Cats is an enrichment and training activity in which your cat is seeking, sniffing, and hunting for their treats or food. It's a game that has been tweaked specifically for cats, and although this webinar is geared for our feline friends, you’ll get a good insight into the differences between how cats and dogs process the world of scent.

In this webinar, Cat Nosework Specialist Hanna Fushihara will introduce you to the concept of Nosework for Cats and outline how it differs from Nosework for Dogs. She’ll cover equipment, and get a bit nerdy with scent theory so you are equipped to make the best start!

It’s a bonding experience for you and your cat. You’ll learn so much about how they experience the world and process information. We hope you and your cat will join the fun.

Webinar and Q&A were recorded March 1, 2023.

Live follow-up Mentoring Group Session is Wednesday March 29, 10am Pacific time via Zoom meeting. The mentoring session isn't automatically included in the Webinar but is available to purchase as part of a bundle. See purchase options below.

Note: If you've already attended the webinar, there are instructions to just add the mentoring session in your Course Player.

  • Suitable for pet owners, trainers, behaviorists, shelter workers and anyone looking to expand your knowledge and skills to support cats.

  • Get geeky about airflow, odor movement, and how environmental factors can affect your cat's ability to scent the world around them.

  • Deep Dive into the Science of Scent and explore the differences between how cats and dogs differ in their abilities and motivations!

  • Discover the equipment you will need to set up your cat's first searches and how to arrange the environment to maximise success.

  • Have a feeling that your cat may be “untrainable”? Hanna will do her best to change your mind with loads of helpful tips in case you and your cat get stuck.

  • Follow up Mentor Session available for additional help and support.

  • If you only (or mostly) work with dogs, this is a fun way to extend your experience of cats AND understand Nosework from a new perspective. It's super helpful to look outside of your favorite species.

  • If your dog has been getting all the training, your cat will be happy for this chance to participate!

  • This webinar and whole lot more is included with a Diamond Membership All Access Pass. For one low price per month, you get access to all of our emotionally enriching dog courses. See if Diamond is right for you.

About the Instructor

Hanna's passion makes her the perfect instructor for this webinar.

Hanna Fushihara, CPDT-KA

Hanna Fushihara CPDT-KA, believes that the best training puts a smile on your face and strengthens your bond with your learner!

Hanna has been permanent & temporary staff to many cats; over the years eight that she has called her own and many that she helped through TNR (trap, neuter, return) and/or were foster, She has been teaching canine nosework since 2018 both in person and online and reached the NW3-Elite title level competing with her pit bull Derek before he passed away. Finding herself with no dog, Hanna started developing her own ideas on how to play nosework with her cats in the spring of 2020 during the start of the pandemic, making adjustments to how she knew how to play nosework with dogs so that her cats would find the activity fun, challenging, and motivating. She’s been adding her imaginative, artful skills and humor to the mix with Nosework Cats to make it unique and her own.

Her cats Muncho and Mini are her muses and helpers. They were both found as strays by Hanna and her husband at different times and places, screaming as loud as their little kitten voices could. Muncho has been the workaholic in terms of nosework and might actually be the first cat to have garnered a nosework award while participating in an online event meant for dogs. Mini is happy to dabble and has been increasing her skills and confidence.
