A practice session or for those new to scentwork. Please bring lots of treats!
🐾 Scent Work Workshop – Clove Scent 🐾
📍 Instock, Brucefield Industrial Estate, Livingston
🏠 Indoor venue
Scent work is a powerful, natural activity that allows dogs to use their nose in a calm, focused and purposeful way. In this workshop, dogs will be introduced to clove scent and taught how to search for and indicate the target scent in a structured, supportive environment.
This workshop is suitable for a wide range of dogs and is particularly beneficial for:
Reactive dogs who need a controlled outlet
Nervous or unsure dogs who benefit from predictable, confidence-building tasks
High-energy or working-breed dogs who need a breed-appropriate mental outlet
What we’ll cover:
Introduction to clove scent and how dogs learn odour
How scent travels and behaves in an environment
The mechanics of scent work and why it is so effective
Setting up safe, successful searches indoors
Building focus, independence and problem-solving skills
How scent work can reduce stress and support emotional regulation
All work will be carried out indoors, allowing for consistency, safety and reduced environmental pressure. Dogs will work individually to ensure they can stay under threshold and gain the most from the session.
This is a fantastic way to mentally tire your dog while building confidence, clarity and resilience — without relying on high physical arousal.
Spaces will be limited to ensure quality coaching and appropriate setups for each dog.
