Fun Nose Work & Scent Detection Classes - Beginners
Starting Monday 15th June 6pm
4 weekly sessions of 60mins
£80
Dogs from 20 weeks of age
During this course your dog will get to use their innate scenting super powers and develop search and problem solving skills.
Starting with food targets, we will teach the dogs to search small areas and build their confidence and stamina. We will introduce the dogs to odour, learn how to produce a passive indicator and progress to working in more varied and challenging spaces.
The benefits of scent work for both you and your dog are massive:
🐶Amazing mental workout!
🐶Builds your bond – working as a team boosts your connection
🐶Confidence-boosting – wonderful for anxious/nervous dogs
🐶Dopamine boost – sniffing releases feel-good hormones
🐶Tires them out – 15 minutes of scent work can be as tiring as an hour-long walk
🐶Great for all dogs – puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, even blind or deaf dogs
🐶Calms high-energy dogs – gives them a job to focus on
🐶Reduces anxiety
🐶Scent work is low-pressure, dog-led, and genuinely fun.
Basic equipment such as scent and containers, and treats will be provided for you to use and explore in class.
Owners should bring dogs with a harness/collar and both a one metre lead and a longer lead as well.
If your dog has allergies or food intolerances, please bring suitable treats.
All training is force-free and reward based and sessions will be delivered on the outskirts of Billingshurst.
Numbers will be limited. This course is for dogs are are at ease around other dogs - I will do a dedicated scent course for owners of reactive dogs if required - just ask!
