MUZZLE CONDITIONING USING SCENT WORK

Did you know that scent work is a fun activity you can use to positively muzzle train your dog…
Muzzled dogs will succeed in scent work just as well as dogs without them!

🌟In the coming days I will be producing a UKSD inspired training video to help any of my followers who would want to muzzle train their dog easily using scent work. 🎥📸

Please message our page and I will happily send you our video with virtual 1-2-1 guidance for free 📲

——————————————————————————-
Muzzle training is important for any dog and can save them much stress if it was ever suddenly needed.

* Muzzled dogs are not “bad” dogs! A properly fitted and conditioned muzzle is a sign of a good owner.
* Muzzles are used for more than aggression. (All XL-bully dogs must now wear a muzzle in public from the commencement of the ban.)
* A muzzle might be required in case of an emergency like a broken bone. Getting your dog used to the tool first can avoid adding extra stress in those difficult moments.
* When conditioned with positive associations, a muzzle does not cause a dog discomfort or fear.
* Sometimes a muzzle is necessary to keep everyone safe during a training process.

I hope this video will help anyone who is considering a different way to muzzle condition their dog.

🚨 For those who have asked for a Saturday Bronze class, I hope you will be happy to hear that we have listened and have secured Sniffer Dog Saturdays! 🥳🥳

We will take your dog from beginner right round to searching like a real Sniffer Dog. 🐕

These 6-week group classes will take place at the same time each week. (Message us for the timings)

By the end, you will complete a search trial and receive a UK Sniffer Dog’s official certificate and rosette! There will be an extra prize for first place. 🥇

Who’s this for?!
• Young puppies with a lot of energy to burn - as long as they've finished their vaccines you can bring them along
• Adolescent dogs who are beginning to test the boundaries and would benefit from more focus
• Over aroused dogs who have endless energy to burn
• Working breeds of dogs in need of an activity to keep them busy
• Elderly dogs who are not as mobile as they once were but who still have the drive to be active
• Dogs recovering from surgery or injuries
• Great for nervous dogs - using their noses is like a having safety blanket & is great confidence building
• Reactive dogs that are undergoing training - scent is a great tool to help you redirect your dog's focus

Dogs will be kept on leads throughout this class.

Wow! First time in a while I’ve had a full class and it was definitely a challenge but it was so worth it! These dogs focussed so well and engaged so nicely with scentwork 🤩 They even all lay on the floor asleep at the end 🤯

Week 5 for my Friday lot- more vehicle searches 🚗🐾
These dogs were all a bit confused when we started car searches- why isn’t the door opening? Are we going somewhere? Why are you making me sniff a car??
But once they got their head around that it was just a standard scentwork exercise they all smashed it 🤩 Love keeping these dogs on their toes 👀

25/07/2023

Week 5 🚗🐾 Vehicle Search!
Broom broom-these guys SMASHED vehicle searches this week honestly 🤩
I love vehicle search week it’s so different to the other weeks for a few reasons:
🐾 It’s the first time the dogs have ever probably really looked and smelled a car- super good for positive association with the car!
🐾 It’s our first outdoor search which means there’s lots of other smells that I can’t control so focus is harder!
🐾It’s one giant search item- not multiple items so focus is harder to keep but more fun to train
🐾I got some 1-2-1 time with the dogs and handlers to help them work on their indication and training so they can be the best sniffer dog they can be!!

20/07/2023

It’s my favourite week… novel environment week!! 🐾
This week is SO much fun and it was really nice to see some of the more nervous dogs who initially didn’t want to engage with the searches to them independently searching the area and indicating with confidence! These dogs and handlers love a challenge and thrived at EVERYTHING I threw at them 💪🏼🤩
