Scent-based activities

Dogs were built to use their noses. Scent-based activities give them the chance to do exactly that - with benefits that go far beyond the session itself.

 

What your dog gets out of it

  • Mental stimulation that tires them out in ways a walk can't

  • A confidence boost through independent problem solving

  • A natural outlet for their instincts and drive

  • A stronger bond with you

 

In turn, you get a happier, calmer and more confident dog.

Who is it for? Anyone, genuinely. From Dachshunds to XL Bullies, busy spaniels to thoughtful German Shepherds, puppy to senior, overconfident to nervous and reactive - and from dogs who've never done any sport to retired flyball and agility dogs.

Take scent from a personal item and find the “missing person” - for fun. Similar benefits to tracking, with the thrill of finding a person.

Not sure which is right for you and your dog?

"We have been taking a rescue dog to scent work classes. Karina has been so patient with him and he is now progressing so nicely. Great to have one to one classes especially for reactive/overstimulated dogs and working to suit the individual dog in front of her."
