Unlocking Your Dog's Natural Instincts for Fun and Effective Search Training
Scent Detection
Scent detection is a fun and engaging canine sport that harnesses a dog's natural scenting abilities. Originating from training techniques used in detection work, it encourages dogs to use their keen sense of smell to locate specific scents in various environments.
We embrace various methodologies and incorporate them into all aspects of teaching the sport. Our trainers have been certified with different organizations to ensure a well-rounded approach for you and your dogs! Register now and to start your journey to exciting adventures in scent detection!
