Looking for something fun to do with your dog, that can be done in any weather and anywhere, and doesn't need any expensive equipment?

​

Scent Work is the ideal sport for dogs of all ages and abilities.

​

The sport of scent work is based on the task of working detection dogs to locate an odour and communicate to their  handler that the odour has been found.

Detection is done in a variety of environments and often during changing weather or environmental conditions.

 

Scent Work is a positive, challenging activity that allows dogs of all ages the opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a way that is fun, engaging, and builds and strengthens a foundation of trust between the handler and dog.

​

Handlers take their dogs through a search area which may be set up in a variety of environments (interior, exterior, containers and vehicles).

 

Dogs are trained to recognise specific odours within minutes, and to alert their handlers when those odours are detected.

​

They must work through multiple distractions, often in restricted and cluttered areas.

 

The dog is rewarded immediately for an accurate indication.  

 

No obedience necessary!
