A fun, natural activity you can do with your dog, whatever their age or experience. No previous skills needed, just curiosity and a nose to follow.
Scent work gives your dog a stress free way to do something entirely natural to them.
Rather than working against instinct, it taps into their innate need to search and seek, and that makes it a genuinely low impact activity, unlike more physical pursuits such as agility.
Searching has a calming effect. It can help build confidence, ease anxiety, and support dogs who find reactivity difficult.
And this isn’t something you watch from the sidelines. You and your dog work as a team, which is exactly why so many owners tell me it’s brought them closer together.
Scent work is accessible for every dog, of every age.
Accessible for all dogs, all ages, so any dog can take part, regardless of breed, age or ability.
I run an induction workshop first, three hours long, to introduce you and your dog to searching for scent.
Once you’ve completed your induction, you’re welcome to join the weekly scent club, and you’ll also be added to a private Facebook group for members.
Between us, we cover passive searches, man trailing, tracking, and vehicle and building searches.
We’re outdoors through the summer, and indoors in a hired hall over winter, so the club runs right through the year.
No previous skills needed, so you and your dog can start straight away, whatever your experience.
Can support anxious or reactive dogs, so it’s worth considering even if your dog finds other settings difficult.
The induction workshop is £59.
After that, the scent club is £10 a week over summer, and £12.50 a week over winter, when we’re in a hired hall.
You pay weekly. There’s no need to book a block of sessions in advance.

No. You pay weekly, so there’s no block booking to commit to.
If what you’re dealing with is more about anxiety, fear or reactivity than a training gap
If your dog’s main issue is more of a specific training problem, like recall or loose lead walking, my dog training page might be a better fit.
