Scent work
Overview
Scent work offers numerous advantages, including enhanced health and well-being for dogs of all breeds, ages, and skill levels. It provides calming and mentally stimulating experiences, boosting confidence and reducing arousal levels. Given that your dog's incredible nose contains 300 million scent receptors—compared to our 5-6 million—scent work is a perfect activity to enjoy together.
Our scent work course is suitable for complete beginners and teaches all the fundamental skills needed for your dog to be successful.
There are no prerequisites to join the course, we just ask your dog is social and happy to work around other people and dogs.
