Scent Training for Pet Dogs (Scentwork UK)

Dogs love sniffing and at Hide and go Sniff we love teaching them to do it as part of a great mental activity that not only fulfils one of their greatest instincts but also helps strengthen their relationship with you. Based on the skills demonstrated by working dogs within the police, military and medical world, scent work allows you and your pet dog the chance to build a close working bond with each other within a friendly, welcoming and most importantly fun environment. We teach dogs to search a variety of different environments in order to find and indicate to you the location of a scented article. There are many benefits to this kind of training including helping shy or nervous dogs build confidence, giving hyper active or elderly dogs a mental challenge which tire them without adding any stress to their joints. It's even been known to help reactive dogs. As a certified trainer and trials judge for Scentwork UK I will teach you everything you need to know in order to go from complete novice to competent scent working team. From there you can enjoy this exciting activity at home as a new game to play or go on to compete across the country.
