Discover the power of your dog’s nose in our structured 7 week Scent Detection Foundations session. This class is designed to introduce dogs and handlers to the fundamentals of scent detection in a calm, supportive, and rewarding environment.
Scent detection is suitable for all breeds, ages, and experience levels. It is particularly beneficial for dogs that require confidence building, mental enrichment, improved focus, or a constructive outlet for natural drive.
What the session includes:
Dogs will be introduced to target odour through clear, systematic exercises. Training focuses on developing independent searching, calm problem-solving, and handler observation skills. Searches may include boxes, vehicles, indoor environments, and simple scent walls, depending on progression.
Benefits of scent detection:
• Builds confidence and resilience
• Provides deep mental enrichment
• Improves focus and handler–dog communication
• Supports anxious, reactive, or high-drive dogs
• Low physical impact, high cognitive reward
Class structure:
Sessions are kept calm and well-managed, with dogs working individually. No prior experience is required, and exercises are adapted to suit each dog’s ability and emotional state.
Who can attend:
• Pet dogs and working breeds
• Puppies (age-appropriate work)
• Nervous, reactive, or high-energy dogs
• Handlers new to scentwork or looking to build solid foundations
If you are looking for an enriching activity that truly works your dog from the inside out, this class is an excellent starting point.
