6-Week Nose Work Course: Unlock Your Dog’s Natural Superpower

Let your dog do what they do best — use their nose!

Our 6-week Nose Work course introduces your dog to the exciting world of scent detection in a fun, supportive, and confidence-building way. Using positive reinforcement and gentle guidance, you’ll learn how to channel your dog’s natural sniffing instincts into an engaging and rewarding activity you can enjoy together.

What You and Your Dog Will Learn:

• How to introduce scent games and search cues

• Building your dog’s focus and problem-solving skills

• Confidence around new environments and distractions

• Reading your dog’s unique body language and “tells”

• How to set up fun scent searches at home or outdoors

Why You’ll Love Nose Work:
Nose work is more than just a game — it’s mental enrichment that helps dogs feel calm, confident, and fulfilled. It’s especially great for shy, reactive, or high-energy dogs who need a positive outlet for their natural instincts.

Perfect For:

• Dogs of all ages, breeds, and experience levels

• Families looking for a low-pressure, confidence-boosting activity

• Anyone who wants to deepen their bond with their dog through play and teamwork​

Our Training Approach:
Led by a trainer educated in canine behaviour and learning theory, this course uses only force-free, science-based methods to create a safe, fun learning experience for every dog. You’ll leave each class with practical exercises and plenty of smiles as you watch your dog’s confidence soar.

​

Scent work is an awesome activity for dogs, and it offers a bunch of benefits. Here are a few reasons why it’s great:

1. Mental stimulation: Dogs love using their noses. It taps into their natural instincts and keeps their minds sharp, kind of like a puzzle for us humans. It helps prevent boredom, especially for high-energy dogs.

2. Boosts confidence: For shy or anxious dogs, scent work can be a real confidence booster. Finding a hidden scent makes them feel successful and proud.

3. Physical exercise: It’s not just about their nose—dogs move around a lot when searching for scents. So they get a bit of a workout too, without needing to run around all day.

4. Strengthens bond: Scent work is a team activity. Your dog relies on you to set up the scent and give cues, and this shared focus can help deepen your bond.

5. Accessible for all dogs: Whether you have a young pup, an older dog, or one with mobility issues, scent work is adaptable for any age, breed, or ability.
