Welcome to Lyn and Di's Introduction to Scentwork Course
(It's more than an introduction!)
So what is Scentwork?
The dog’s primary world is scent, from the moment they are born, it’s the way they see the world. Scentwork not only mentally stimulates your dog but also enhances their natural ability to sniff things out, all while having fun.
Dogs trained in scentwork are trained to detect and identify a chosen target odour. Popular odours in pet dog training are Clove, Gun Oil, Essential Oils & Hydrolates.
Scentwork is also referred to as nose work, scent detection or sporting (competitive) detection. You may also like to take a look at ‘How Dogs Smell‘
Why teach scent detection to pet dogs?
Well, all dogs need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. In puppies, we need to teach them to think. It helps with impulse control and gives them focus. For you and your dog it’s very bonding and builds a great relationship between you. You will learn so much about your dog’s body language as you watch them work.
This fascinating hobby is accessible and inexpensive, all you need to get started are two glass jars, several socks, a jar of clove buds and some boxes!
Any dog can do it, large or small, young or old, blind dogs, dogs with reduced exercise tolerance due to things like HD & ED, disabled dogs, literally any dog.
What’s more, it’s great fun for you and your dog… whether you search around your home, outdoors or progress to competitions you will both enjoy the sense of achievement and marvel at your dog’s ability. More about the joy of scentwork
Why this online course?
Our introduction to Scentwork online video course is a fabulous way to start your scentwork journey. The course will show you how to introduce your dog to a target odour, teach them how to find it and ultimately tell you where it is.
The course is as equally suited to those who want to do little searches around the house as it is for anyone wanting to do sports scentwork.
To help you get off to a great start we’ve included lots of information on the theory behind the learning and on training your dog in general.
