Scent Work Classes

What are the benefits of Scent work?

Mental enrichment, confidence building for you and your dog, it's a calming activity, assists in building bonds between you and your dog, physical stimulation and the best part...any dog can do it!

We have 5 million scent receptors in our noses...our dogs have 220 million! With dogs being able to smell 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic sized swimming pool, why not let them work it?!

There are two types of Scent work courses available. No experience is necessary!
