We will look at how to improve focus, and to maintain your dogs attention when out walking.

SCENTWORK WORKSHOPS
Suitable for dogs of all ages
Dogs have a highly sensitive nose, vastly superior to our own. Scentwork is a natural behaviour for a dog and essential in hunting and finding prey. This behaviour has been put to many uses – for example in search and rescue, police work, hunting and as a sport.
Scentwork UK has been set up to promote and develop scentwork as a dog sport and training activity throughout the country.
As a training activity, scentwork is fun, very rewarding and at the same time mentally tiring for your dog. It will improve the relationship between you and your dog and is a great confidence builder especially for the shy dog. You can participate whether it is just for fun, or go on and enter trials and gain qualifications.
DUE TO COVID-19 THESE WORKSHOPS ARE POSTPONED UNTIL JULY 2021.
NO SLIP LEADS/ SEMI-CHOKE CHAINS IN ANY CLASS PLEASE
As these are not tools we endorse. You will be provided with a harness if you arrive with your dog wearing one.
