ONE-TO-ONE BEGINNER LEVEL PROGRAMME
In our one-to-one beginner Scentwork programme, dogs are taught to associate a particular odour with a reward, such as food or a toy.
We start with clove, the classic first scent used in scentwork trials, and teach your dog to search for it and give a clear indication when they find it. Once your dog has learned to recognise the odour and pair it with a reward, the scent can be hidden in all sorts of fun places, from bags to chairs to even vehicles.
Working with your dog's scentsational nose, we'll turn them into a true scent-detection sleuth!

My Hart Dog Scentwork: FAQ's
How can SCENTWORK benefit my dog?
Scentwork taps into a dog's innate abilities, to cater to both their mental and physical needs.
Sniffing fulfils a major part of our dogs sensory needs, helping them feel contented and relaxed
Scentwork is mindfulness for dogs, giving nervous, anxious dogs something to focus on and feel happier and more positive going into new or stressful situations going forward.
What training methods do you use?
All our training is founded on modern methods based on sound clinical evidence. We pride ourselves on offering kind and ethical coaching systems based on supporting the needs of both dog and dog owner.
Are our classes suitable for everyone?
I have a kind and empathetic training ethos combined with a science based approach to dog-training.
In order to learn something new, our dogs must be feel comfortable in their environment. Whilst we do our very best to accommodate sensitive dogs, if you think your dog might struggle around other dogs, this may not be right class. Please do check out our individual sessions which might be better suited.
I do not allow any aversives ( choke collar, prong collar) or any jerking or shouting at dogs in my classes.
Can my puppy attend MY HART DOG SCENTWORK classes?
Absolutely!
We welcome fully vaccinated pups from 12 weeks old. Scentwork are calm, low intensity classes that are great at helping young dogs develop their confidence in a safe and comfortable environment.
Obviously we have to make allowances, as puppies tire quickly and are not able to concentrate on a task as long as more mature dogs.
Please drop us a message HERE so we can make sure we are prepared in advance for your new puppy!
