Scent Work Dog Training

Classes are every Thursday at 10:00 11:00 & 12:00,

Scent work is when a dog uses its sense of smell to identify and locate a scent that it has been trained to detect. Dogs have a highly sensitive nose, vastly superior to our own.

Scent work is a natural behaviour for a dog and is essential in hunting and finding prey. As man’s best friend, this behaviour has been put to many uses – for example in police work, search and rescue, and hunting.

As a dog sport, Scent work has emerged from detection style nose work as practised by customs and excise, explosives detection, search and rescue and medical detection dogs.

Scentwork UK has been set up to promote and develop scent work as a dog sport and training activity throughout the country. It is open to anyone whether you are a pet dog owner or a more advanced dog trainer.

It is suitable for all breeds and ages, puppies and dogs with injuries or disabilities – scentwork is a non-injurious sport. 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 a shy dog. You can participate whether it is just to have a bit of fun or take it further and enter trials and gain qualifications.
