Scentwork for Sniffer Dogs
Courses
Scentwork is amazing for all dogs, of any size, breed, age and temperament. They all benefit from scentwork, after all, dogs see the world through their noses.
Aimed at pet dogs, we follow the training process used by operational search dogs to provide your dog with a job they find fulfilling by encouraging those natural foraging, seeking and scenting behaviours.
Scentwork calms, focuses and provides mental and physical stimulation for your dog at the same time improving general training and handler techniques.

Scentwork for Enrichment
If the UK Sniffer Dogs courses aren’t for you, we can teach you easy ways to provide your dog with scentwork in and around your home for enrichment and pleasure.
Scentwork has been proven to produce calmness and produce those happy hormones that make your dog feel good. By allowing and facilitating your dogs natural instincts, you will find yourself with a happier more relaxed dog.
Because this is such a natural activity, it is the perfect way to allow your dog to feel successful and confident by doing something they love.
The enrichment sessions take place outdoors, here at my training base in Brinkworth Wiltshire.
