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.
