Scentwork Pet Dog Scent Course
Best Behaviour K9 are excited to present our Pet Dog Scent Course. We appreciate that your dogs love to smell their way through the day. This course will help you develop this natural skill and use it as a great way to help tire them out quickly. We specialise in teaching pet dogs and their humans how to have fun with scent work. Our trainer Neil has years of experience of working and training dogs in searching.
Neil has over 20 years experience training search dogs including over 17 years training Police search and tracking dogs. Neil is also a NASDU trainer for detection dogs, including drugs, cadaver, live person and pyrotechnics detection dogs. He is also a Home Office accredited Police Dog Trainer for drugs, currency, firearms and ammunitions detection dogs.
The Course is open to any breed of dog over 12 weeks of age, with no specific obedience training required (although a sit stay would be beneficial).
Our Scent Work course is an exciting 6-week programme which consists of a one hour session each week.
The first week is classroom based WITHOUT your dog. In this session, we will discuss:
- Your dog’s ability to detect odours.
- How they see the world through their nose.
- How they use their noses and brains.
- What scent is and what it does.
- What equipment you will need.
- How to read your dog’s behaviour.
