SCENT DETECTIVES

Scentwork for pet dogs

 A dog's sense of smell is so powerful and they love to explore the world with their nose, which is why Scentwork is a great mental and physical enrichment for your dog. Whether you are wanting to have some fun quality time together or would also like to work towards trials. There is no need for any previous experience, just a willingness for you both to learn. 

This is the one sport where the dog knows more than the person at the end of the leash!

 

What will you learn during training with me?

During our Scentwork classes we cover how to find specific odours in a variety of situations whilst working as a team with your dog. These include; luggage and box, room, outdoor and vehicle searches. 

Why should you try scentwork?

 

  • Suitable for all dogs, any age & any breed
  • Perfect exercise for older, injured or disabled dogs - non injurious sport
  • Improves bond between owner & dog
  • Great confidence builder for shy dogs
  • Learn fun games to play at home

Scentwork For Beginners

Scentwork for Beginners course is the perfect first step into the wonderful world of canine nosework!

This two-part program — Scentwork Foundations and Scent Club Entry — will equip you and your dog with the skills to enjoy scentwork anywhere. Upon completion, you’ll be ready to join the This Dog Can Scent Club to continue your training journey or even take your first steps into scentwork trials!


 What your dog will learn:
• How to search a variety of environments while working in partnership with you. Search areas include boxes & luggage, tables & chairs, outdoor items, and perimeters.

• How to communicate with you using a passive indication (such as a freeze or a freeze-and-sit response).

• How to identify and search for their very first target odour — cloves.


Who is this course for?
No previous experience is necessary. This course is suitable for friendly, social dogs aged 5 months and older.
