Sniffing increases serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin whilst reducing adrenalin, cortisol and Norepinephrine (the stress hormones) so its great for putting your dog to work and assisting addressing behaviour problems. I frequently recommend scent work to dogs with high states of arousal.
Scent detection training has long been widely used across the world for working and operational services. Our amazing dogs have been used to search for drugs, bombs, firearms, cash, contraband, missing people & human remains. Even more amazing, in recent years dogs are being used for assistance purposes. Medical alert (diabetes & epilepsy) and medical detection, such as detecting cancer cells in humans... WOW!
This course aim’s to give owners the skills to train and take part in scent training activities with their dogs, just like the working “Sniffer Dogs”!

FAQ’S
Do I need to come to both session’s?
For you and your dog to have the best experience I’d suggest you come to both session’s and
as it is a 6 hour program unfortunately you will be charged if you are unable to make some of
the time as I cannot fill the spot if you only book some of the course.
Are you doing another course?
If you cannot make this one but are interested about getting on the waiting list for a future
one. Please let us know.
My Dog is reactive can they come?
Absolutely, this is a calm class and is suitable for all dogs. However, there is only one space
for dogs who struggle in a group setting so please let us know upon booking.
Is there parking?
There is free on street parking right next to the venue.
What do I need to bring?
A red Kong (MUST BE RED)
Your dogs favourite treats and plenty of them!
A harness and lead for your dog.
For the safety of everyones dogs your dog MUST be secure so we really encourage a harness.
All dogs will be kept on lead for the duration of the class
Can I teach My dog to find my Phone / Wallet / Money etc?
Short answer is yes! While we won’t specifically be teaching your dog to seek these items,
the association and principle is the same so in theory you can teach your dog to find anything.
