scentwork
scentwork level 1 & 2
Our Scentwork Classes are designed to give dogs the opportunity to use one of their most powerful natural abilities — their nose. 👃🐶
Scentwork is a fantastic activity for dogs of many ages, breeds and experience levels. It provides mental enrichment, builds confidence, encourages independent problem-solving and strengthens teamwork between dog and handler.
We offer different levels so teams can progress at the right pace.
Level 1 focuses on the foundations of scentwork, including learning how to search, building confidence, developing independence and helping handlers recognise when their dog is working scent.
Level 2 builds on those skills with more challenging searches, increased distractions, improved indications and more complex scent problems.
Across our classes, we work on:
Search motivation and confidenceIndependent problem-solvingHandler observation skillsReading changes in your dog’s body languageDeveloping clear indicationsWorking through different search environmentsIncreasing search difficultyImproving focus and persistenceBuilding teamwork without over-handling
Scentwork is suitable for dogs who love to work, dogs needing extra mental stimulation, and dogs who benefit from confidence-building activities.
🐾 Low-impact but mentally challenging🧠 Excellent enrichment💙 Builds confidence and independence🐶 Suitable for a wide range of dogs🤝 Strengthens communication between dog and handler
Sometimes the best training starts by allowing our dogs to do what they were naturally designed to do. 11am Sundays, Dalyellup (starts 18th of October)
