Scent Detection (Sniffer Dog) Grade-1

Service Description

A fun, stimulating, primal activity that engages the dogs olfactory system (sense of smell) stimulating the brain to identify and search for a variety of interesting scents in a stimulating range of varying environments. Your dog could quickly become a doggy detective! Why Scent Detection & what are the benefits? Scent Detection training is much less physically impacting on a dogs body (and possibly the owners!) than some other sports whilst providing increased mental and lower level physical exercise. The mental stimulation combined with the physical aspect can mean that 10-minutes of scent activity can be more tiring than 1-hour of running meaning it is ideal for dogs of all ages, physical abilities and social tolerances and for people with limited mobility and or fitness. Scentwork has been scientifically proven to help dogs be happy - sniffing helps release happy endorphins. In addition, Scentwork can help reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness for dogs - giving nervous, anxious & insecure dogs something positive to focus on instead of their usual habits. Social opportunities for not just your dog but for you also. Additional grades are available for continuity. Exclusive WhatsApp group for Scent clients. We have private indoor and outdoor training options. You may bring more than one dog but places are charged per dog participating and places are strictly limited to a maximum of 6 to ensure a good experience for dogs and handlers alike. PLEASE NOTE - There are no training sessions on September 13th or September 20th.
