Is Your Dog Naughty Due to Boredom?
Scent Work is a fun activity that utilizes your dog's amazing sense of smell to search for hidden food or other objects.
It is a fun game you can play at home on your own schedule.
Tire them out mentally and physically with short, easy and fun sessions you both will look forward to.
Dogs need mental stimulation. Finding hides is challenging and require our dogs to use both their nose and their brain.
Our dogs also love to interact with us. Scent Work allows them to do just that, as you work together to find the hides.
It's a great way to tucker out your dog so they take a well needed nap and settle down.
All dogs can play Scent Work, no matter their breed, size or age.
You can play this activity almost anywhere, indoors or outdoors, and you do not need any prior experience training dogs to get started.
Scent Work is tailored to your dog's individual skill level, ensuring they never get bored of this activity.
Our Introduction to Scent Work course is an online training course that will teach you the fundamentals of Scent Work. Structured video lessons will walk you through how to get started in this activity.
In this course, you will learn:
Enjoy continual access to the course materials and go through the lessons at your own pace.
My goal at the time of enrolling in the course was to increase the confidence in my little dog Siena and I thought that sniffing and searching could be a fun way for her because she enjoys this kind of activities (hide and search, find it etc.) Clearly I was not wrong, we learned how to increase confidence and exploration; I've learned to read my little Siena better. The course is very well explained and the videos great! I loved the course!
I loved how you broke down assignments by week, I loved the print outs, I loved the teaching videos (you have a great voice) and I loved your video with the dog working the exercises. Well done!
Beyond expectations - very clear and easy to achieve each step. Love the flow of the videos and consistency in expectations for how info is presented.
It was great to learn about Scent Work and ways to encourage my dog to get involved.
Lessons broken down into easily digestible info. Clear learning goals. Exercises easy to follow dog; human set up for success. :)
Great intro course. I appreciate that you have this available since it is so hard to get into such courses in my area during times I can attend. Convenient!
The pace was great, not too fast for the dog but not boring for the human. And I really love your enthusiasm!
I love how you broke down all the steps and gave handouts with pictures. Very helpful. Explained things in detail and the WHY of what you did.
Your polished voice and delivery...better than some newspersons. You have gift of delivery that does not get in the way of the content.
Our courses are self-directed, so you may go through the material at your own pace. However, if you prefer a more interactive learning experience consider our Student option. You will complete homework assignments, receive video reviews and attend a weekly Zoom class with the course instructor.
If you are looking for a one-time consultation to ask questions, you can always schedule a one-on-one Zoom consultation with the course instructor.
Scent Work can be played with treats alone, especially to start.
