Scent Work Foundations

Service Description

Our Scent Work Foundations Programme introduces dogs to scent work in a structured, rewarding, and confidence-building way. Scent work allows dogs to use their strongest natural sense in a calm, focused activity that supports mental enrichment, emotional well being, and confidence. It’s a great way to give dogs an outlet that is both stimulating and satisfying, without over-arousal or pressure. Training is tailored to each individual dog and progresses at a pace that supports success, keeping sessions enjoyable and frustration-free. No previous experience is needed, and exercises are adapted to suit your dog’s age, temperament, and physical ability.
