Scentwork

Does your dog like to sniff? Can't keep their nose off the floor? Can't settle no matter how much exercise you do together? Looking for an enrichment activity? Is your dog a little anxious and you would like to build their confidence?

Then why not make use your dogs most powerful, natural sense, in a fun way!

It is said that TEN minutes of sniffing is MORE tiring than ONE hour of running!

So, with support and training from our fully qualified Scentwork Instructors, these classes are guaranteed to tire your dog out!

We run both Introduction and Advanced sessions, and dogs of all breeds and ages are welcome to join.

Each session works on building or improving your indication, using a mix of games and rewards. Teaching search patterns, how to start searching new or novel items and environments, and all at your own dogs pace!

With prior arrangement we can also accommodate anxious or reactive dogs in these classes, as each dog can be worked one at a time!

You have the choice of scents to train your dog to find, so whether you are looking to teach them for fun or for competition, we can meet your requirements.

Class numbers are kept to a maximum of 5 so that you benefit from personal attention from the instructor and each class lasts for 50 minutes, and are run in monthly blocks.

Throughout the year we also hold themed, Train and Test and friendly competition sessions.
