Scentwork is when a dog uses its sense of smell to identify and locate a scent which it has been trained to detect.

As a training activity, scentwork is fun, very rewarding and at the same time mentally tiring for your dog. It will improve the relationship between you and your dog and is a great confidence builder especially for the shy dog.

You can participate whether it is just for fun, or go on and enter trials and gain qualifications.

Scentwork is a low impact sport and it is suitable for all breeds and ages, puppies and dogs with injuries or disabilities, dog reactive and shy, under-confident dogs.

In order for the dogs and handlers to get the most out of each workshop we only work with one dog at a time. This enables all handlers to watch and learn from other participants and ask questions they may have.
