Scentwork Training for All Dogs & Handlers

 

Discover the fun and rewarding world of scentwork!
Our dog scentwork training courses are designed to challenge and support both you and your dog, no matter your experience level. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to advance your skills, our expert-led sessions will guide you every step of the way.

Led by a City & Guilds–accredited Scent Detection Handler and Instructor, you’ll receive professional, structured training using proven scentwork techniques. Each course includes hands-on exercises, expert feedback, and take-home learning materials to help you and your dog grow together.

 

🌟 Why Choose Our Scentwork Classes?

Scentwork is suitable for all breeds and abilities, from energetic pups to older companions. It taps into your dog’s natural instincts, turning them into engaging, confidence-building activities.

You don’t need to be an experienced handler or have a working-line dog, just bring enthusiasm, patience, and a love for learning!

​

✅ Reactive dogs are welcome.

Please let your instructor know beforehand so we can make the experience as comfortable and positive as possible.
