Scentwork UK classes
Scentwork for our pet dogs is about teaching them to sniff out a particular scent. Scents like clove, gun oil or truffle oil are generally used. Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt and find things.
Our scentwork sessions are designed to develop our dogs natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt and their love of food and toys. Your dog will have great fun, build confidence and focus and burn physical and mental energy. It will also help you and your dog bond and work as a team. Our scentwork sessions are open to any type of dog and of any age.
No previous experience is necessary!
You can also work towards taking your Scentwork UK level 1 trial (and beyond...).
