Why choose Scentwork Training for Your Dog?

Mental Stimulation and calming focus

Scentwork taps into your dogs natural instincts giving their brain a job to go which channels their energy in a positive way and helps them find calm focus - even outside of training.

Build confidence & improve behaviour

Structured scentwork sessions provide purpose and reduce frustration. This can help ease anxiety, reduce reactivity, and boost your confidence and engagement in every day life.

Strengthen your bond through teamwork

Scentwork is a true partnership. We work together through games and exercises which are designed to build trust that makes training, walks and everyday life more enjoyable together.

What do we cover in scentwork training?

In private and group sessions we will cover everything you need to know to turn your dog into a sniffer dog!

Scent pairing

We were compiling a positive association and interest for the cent, which in our beginners class is red Kong easy to get hold of and a safe & easy scent to use.

Indication

In simplistic terms that indication is how our dog communicates to you, the handler, that they have found the target odour.

Searching

We'll work together to find out what motivates your dog, we will build on your dogs searching skills through a series of fun based activities.

Scentwork classes and workshops in Woodall spa

I work in the workshop to take place in and around the whole spot, in local venues such as Jubilee Park, Stixwould Rd, Woodhall Spa, Lincs.

I can accommodate "reactive" dogs and dogs who need more space from other dogs and people please email me at hello@cognitivecanineco.co.uk to discuss your requirements so that we can ensure my class will be a good fit for you and your dog as we also run 1-2-1 sessions which may be better suited initially.
