Is a Scentwork course right
for my dog?
...Yes, all dogs can become 'Scent Detectives'!
From puppies to senior dogs, or dogs on reduced physical exercise and those who are sensitive, nervous and/or over-reactive all dogs can benefit in many ways from Scentwork classes.
What is Scentwork?
Scentwork engages your dog's incredible sense of smell, it's sniffing with focus which provides a deeply fulfilling outlet for physical energy, and mental stimulation.
Think of Scentwork as mindfulness for dogs, giving energetic, nervous, or anxious dogs something sensory to focus on, feel happy and build up their confidence.

What do our clients say..
"Wow what can I say, Kate has been incredible in guiding myself and my dog through the various scent exercises. We get homework to go away and practise and Kate’s methods of ensuring that both I as the handler and my dog are always comfortable and that we are finishing each exercise on a high is brilliant. I am so pleased at how my dog has improved on the course and we cannot wait to progress on to silver."

"Working with Kate is, so enlightening, helping me understand what a dog needs, and how to make it happen.
Syd (dog) is always up for some training, Kate has told me, and others, short and positive training is the way forward.
Kate is very easy to talk to, about needs and worries and how to be the best pet owner you can be."
