I’m endlessly fascinated by the incredible olfactory abilities of our dogs. Their sense of smell is nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s their primary way of experiencing the world. There’s nothing more rewarding than harnessing that natural gift and teaming up with your dog to explore the world through their nose — together.
What Are Trailing and Scentwork?
Trailing: Teach your dog to find a missing person using their powerful sense of smell.
Scentwork: Train your dog to detect and locate a specific scent with precision.
Both activities are perfect for all breeds, ages, and experience levels. Whether your dog is a seasoned pro or just starting out, these activities provide a fun and engaging way to exercise both body and mind. Plus, they offer a fantastic opportunity to build confidence — for both you and your dog.
Why Choose These Activities?
Exercise Without Impact: These activities are mentally stimulating and physically engaging without putting undue stress on your dog’s body.
Confidence Building: Strengthen the bond between you and your dog while boosting confidence on both ends of the lead.
Fun and Rewarding: We focus on creating a positive, motivational learning environment that lays the foundation for future success.
