Beginners Scent Work
Did you know that dogs have an incredible sense of smell that allows them to detect a single drop of blood in 20 Olympic-size swimming pools? Wow, right?!
​
Scent detection training in dogs has long been used widely to detect drugs, explosives, cash, missing persons, missing dogs, human diseases and imminent epileptic fits and seizures to name just a few!
Scent work has lots of benefits for our dogs! It can help to improve their ability concentrate, to process information from the environment which can reduce anxiety, it is very tiring and can really help your relationship with your dog as it's an enjoyable activity you can do together.
