  • Summary

  • What is scent detection training for pets?

    We teach our dogs to hunt for a specific target scent, and get prizes for finding it.

    Most dogs find their way through their noses, and it taps into their natural instincts to give them pleasure. It also lowers their heart rate so its perfect for all dogs, especially the nervous or reactive ones.

    It can be done indoors or outside, and ideal for all ages and mobility levels.

    It's my girl's favourite game, and it tires her out much more than any physical exercise, as it uses a larger part of the brain.


    If you listen to this on the release, February 2024, then I have new 2 part workshops at Rokers in Guildford (so excited for this venue!) that you can book via my website www.pippinpetsdogtraining.co.uk/training or if after this date, look out for more dates or book your dog for 1-2-1 scent training. I've even taught this online.


    If you are further afield, then head to the UK Sniffer Dogs to find a more local instructor to you.
