This programme is designed to give you a brilliant introduction to doing scent searches with your dog, to find a toy, an object and then, eventually, your lost car keys (or anything else you want him or her to find). Truffle hunting anyone??!
Teaching your dog to search for a specific toy or object has multiple behavioural benefits. Your dog will have better focus, listen to you more, and will gain a huge amount of mental stimulation in doing scent work with you as part of a team. Scent work is like a work-out for your dog's brain!
Yes, absolutely! Dogs of any age love scent work, and this course will build skills that last for life
Yes. BUT. In all honesty you need to train each dog separately - to strengthen your bond with each one individually and to give them a chance to learn without distraction or compeition
We will talk you through what you need, but in essence, it's a toy that your dog will enjoy playing with, some treats, a jar (to store your kit in) and a 'scent sachet' - we usually recommend cat nip, but it could be dried herbs from your store cupboard
Very little space is required. In fact, at home I start all my scent training in my front room!
Physical strength or flexibility is not required in teaching these techniques. As long as you can hide a toy and have fun with your dog, you'll be just fine!
You will have unlimited access for the lifetime of the course.
