UK Sniffer Dog Bronze Course
We have a few sensitive souls in our Bronze scent classes this term, and scent work is proving to be a fantastic confidence booster for them!
Just look at this beautiful dog working so carefully methodically searching, checking every detail, and then… wow, that head knock!
A ‘head knock’ in scent work happens when a dog finds the exact location of the target scent and physically moves to the location and bumps their nose against it in excitement to indicate to their handler their find.
It’s a clear sign they’ve nailed the find!
Such a rewarding moment for both dog and handler!
Who else loves seeing these lightbulb moments in their own scent training?

🐾 PUPPIES 🐶 Building Confidence Through Exploration! 🐾
Look at these little superstars using their nose and curiosity to investigate something new! 👏
And and some appropriate puppy play together in week 4 of their Puppy Social Skills Course with us.
In our classes, we love creating safe, positive experiences with novel items,helping puppies build confidence, problem-solving skills, and resilience.
✅ Encouraging exploration in a controlled way teaches puppies that new things aren’t scary, they’re fun and rewarding!
✅ Letting them sniff, paw, and investigate at their own pace builds trust and independence.
✅ This kind of training sets them up to handle new environments, objects, and experiences with ease in the real world.

UK Sniffer Dogs Silver Course.
🌟 UK Silver Sniffer Dogs 🌟
We’re so proud of how well our UK Silver Sniffer Dogs are doing!
🐾On week 3 we took a step back to revisit some key foundation exercises. Why? Because building strong basics is the secret to long term success, and our teams are smashing it! 💪
We’ve also introduced a brand new scent to their libraries: Gun Oil. The dogs have risen to the challenge beautifully, adapting quickly and showing impressive focus during training.
It’s amazing to watch their confidence and skills grow week by week!
Keep up the fantastic work, everyone!
We can’t wait to see what you’ll achieve next. 🐶👃

Cognitive Skills
🧠🐾 Another fantastic week in our Cognitive Skills Classes!
🧠Week 3 was all about progress, learning, and lightbulb moments both for the dogs and their brilliant owners!
🌟We’ve loved seeing owners stepping up their techniques and knowledge, creating stronger connections with their dogs. 💪
🐶 And as for the dogs? They’ve been busy building their fun focus skills, mastering self-control, fine-tuning their listening, and picking up all-important life skills whilst also having fun 🤩
We also had some great discussions about cognitive abilitie, what they are, why they matter, and how we can help our dogs unlock their full potential.
Watching those little cogs turn in both dog and human minds has been amazing!
🥰Here’s to a great week ahead of even more learning, fun, and growth.
Who’s loving this journey as much as we are? 🙌🐾

🐶In our Wednesday night Bronze UK Sniffer Dog class, we’re working with an inspiring mix of sensitive and complex dogs this 6 weeks.
From shy souls to those with big emotions, we’re seeing steady progress as they grow in confidence and bond with their handlers. 🌟.
This week, we focused on chair searches, with all the dogs successfully hunting down a smaller-sized piece of Kong as we reduced the scent size.
It’s incredible to see their noses in action and their confidence growing!
Here are a few in action 👇
