UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze 6 week course
What to expect
​
Over 6 one hour sessions, you and your dog will learn how to detect Kong with around 5/6 other dogs and handlers.
The first few sessions will work on teaching your dog the odour of Kong and that looking for it and letting you know it is there will earn them a reward. The following sessions will involve you and the dogs searching different items including bags, chairs, pipes and even cars! The final session will be a mock trial where you and your dog can put your skills to the test.
​
Who can come?
​
Anyone! I recommend one handler per dog as the activities are quite one-one. Scent work is a great way to help with reactive, nervous, over-excitable and/or unfocussed dogs.
Why come?
​
-
Great mental stimulation for your dog
-
Perfect physical stimulation for your dog- 10 minutes of sniffing is more tiring than an hours run!
-
Creates happy dogs- science has proven that sniffing releases endorphins for the dogs mental wellbeing

Reactive/nervous dog 7-week workshop
What to expect
​
A 7 week course for reactive/nervous (no experience needed) where we start off creating a positive association with the Kong for your dog by getting them to touch the Kong with their nose. We then would place the Kong on and in novelty items like bags, pipes and chairs and get them to find them and touch the Kong with their nose. Over time we would reduce size of the Kong and get them to search a line up of aforementioned items and improve their indication on the Kong!
It’s all about working with your dog to encourage them to be focussed and excited for scentwork tasks, eventually after 4/5 weeks your dog should be so invested in the game they are less likely to be reactive/nervous of other potentially frightening stimuli and this point we will then have another dog present. This is also another form of counter conditioning whereby the dogs will enjoy the scentwork so much and the presence of another dog will also be associated with this positive experience. It is a slow process and will take time but I will only work at the pace every dog and owner is comfortable with.
​
-
Week 1 will be online so everyone can meet and we can talk about scentwork and using it with reactive dogs.
-
Week 2-5 will be 30 minute 1-1’s in person where we can work on their motivation, focus and understanding of the tasks. This will also allow me to build a rapport with you and your dog to help understand the best way to move forward and progress! All the sessions are in an enclosed secure 2 acre field to give your dog the space they need.
-
Week 6-7 will be 45 minute sessions with the potential of another dogs presence in the 2 acre field at a large distance apart. This will vary depending on each dog.
​
