I managed to do this course with my little poodle last year and we both really enjoyed it!
I have mobility issues so don't get out for the long lovely walks I used to enjoy with my dogs.Jemmy is my constant companion, my "Velcro dog"! I wanted something I could do with her that she would enjoy and that I could manage considering my limitations, scent work fits the bill perfectly!
Jemmy , as small as she is, took to the task immediately and the 6 week course helped her so much with her reactivity towards unknown dogs. All the dogs in the class were focused on the scentwork too so gradually we were able to get closer and closer to them without causing her anxiety .
Since we finished the course we've been able to continue to play scent work games at home from time to time to give her some mental stimulation without exacerbating my health problems. Vicki was a great trainer, so patient and understanding of our limitations so we still managed to progress

Misha had so much fun, I was amazed how much he picked up after a couple of weeks.
He gets very excited when we arrive at the training field so I did wonder how he would manage as he is very much a teenager !
He just loves scent work, and I love the fact that itโs something we both enjoy practicing wherever we are. Great for the warm weather when long walks are too much for him.
Thank-you again Vicki

What an excellent class, I thoroughly recommend it.
Vicki is a knowledgeable and informative trainer and led the class well. I did not know a great deal about scent work and she gave a good balance of practical trials with theory and knowledge. This is a great course for beginners.
My dog, Kobe, loved it, I was astonished at the size of the Kong he detected and loved seeing his perseverance and concentration. It was a great way for us to strengthen our bond together.

This fun beginners scent course is highly recommended for all breeds! Me and Betsy (a beagle ) really enjoyed it and i was constantly amazed at " the power of the dog's nose" in learning the techniques
Vicky was a knowledgable,kind and considerate trainer to both owners and dogs taking part

These classes are great. Eadie is 8 months and we have a brilliant time together. Honestly, I think I have learned more than she has and she astounds me every week! After just 3 sessions, we are now at the point where I'm hiding her Kong on walks and asking her to find it. She never fails!
I was worried that being young and easily distracted, Eadie wouldn't have the attention span but before the course even started Vicki was providing me feedback and support. And she seems to adapt each exercise for each individual dog's needs.
I would 100% recommend this course for people wanting a fun activity for their dogs.
