Scent Support is a specialist scent-based programme designed for dogs struggling with anxiety, over-arousal, reactivity, environmental stress, or confidence issues to be worked alongside a behavioural programme.

Using structured scentwork and calm-search methodology, this programme helps dogs think clearly, regulate their emotions, and work with purpose rather than overwhelm.

Scent Support is ideal for dogs who:

• become stressed or worried in busy environments

• struggle with over-arousal or impulsive behaviours

• find walks overwhelming or unpredictable
• have difficulty switching off or settling

• need confidence-building in a controlled, supportive way

• are working through behavioural challenges such as vehicle anxiety, reactivity, or sensory overload

Through professional scent-based enrichment and behaviour-informed guidance, your dog learns how to:

• focus under pressure

• make calmer decisions

• build emotional stability

• develop confidence in new situations

• work in partnership with you, not against the environment

If your dog needs a structured pathway to confidence and calm, Scent Support provides exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is Scent Support?

Scent Support is a behaviour-focused scentwork programme designed to help dogs regulate their emotions, develop confidence, and build clarity in challenging environments. It uses professional scent detection methods adapted specifically for behavioural wellbeing.

2. Who is this programme suitable for?

Dogs who are anxious, over-aroused, reactive, environmentally sensitive, easily distracted, or struggling with confidence. It is also ideal for dogs who need structured mental enrichment rather than high-energy physical activity.

3. How does scentwork help with behavioural issues?

Scentwork lowers the heart rate, encourages problem-solving, engages the dog’s natural instincts, and promotes calm focus. When structured correctly, it teaches emotional regulation, reduces overwhelm, and strengthens the bond between dog and handler.

4. Do I need previous scentwork experience?

No. Scent Support is designed for beginners and dogs with no prior training. Everything is guided step-by-step, and every exercise is tailored to the dog’s behavioural needs and confidence level.

5. What results can I expect?

You can expect improvements in:

• emotional control

• confidence

• recovery from stress

• resilience in new environments

• handler focus and teamwork

• overall calmness

Many owners report noticeable changes within just a few sessions.

We received a wonderful review from Huey’s owner following his time on our Scent Support Programme, where we focused on reducing his anxiety around vehicles and improving his confidence with travel. Huey has made exceptional progress and has just enjoyed a successful weekend away, a milestone his owners are absolutely thrilled with. He will now be continuing his journey by progressing into Scent Detection, and we could not be prouder of how far he has come. Well done, Huey.

If your dog struggles with anxiety, over-arousal, or behavioural challenges, please feel free to get in touch. We can discuss how our Scent Support Programme can help you and your dog build confidence, resilience, and calm-focused behaviour.

Well done to this evening’s Mantrailers.
We hit the town and really put both dogs and handlers to the test. With different environmental factors, new smells, distractions, traffic, and plenty of urban noise to contend with, every team rose to the challenge. Each dog showed real progress and every handler demonstrated solid teamwork and trust.

A fantastic effort all round and a clear reflection of how far you have all come.

I grew up on the outside looking in. A quiet kid, a loner, carrying far more than anyone around me ever realised. At fifteen, while living in a hostel, I experienced a trauma that changed the course of my life before it had even properly begun.

I joined the Army searching for structure, belonging, and a place where my past couldn’t reach me. Instead, I found myself serving in some of the most volatile places on earth, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Bosnia, in particular, left a mark that never fully fades. I witnessed the aftermath of atrocities on a scale that strips away any illusions about humanity. Entire communities destroyed. Families shattered. Innocent people driven from their homes or worse. These sights stay with you. They settle deep.

When I left the Army, the battle didn’t stop. It shifted. I carried the weight of what I had seen, the unresolved damage from my past, and the pressure of trying to rebuild a life that felt completely foreign. I turned to alcohol, heavily, not because I wanted to, but because it felt like the only way to quiet the noise.

Eventually, I re-enlisted. Not because it was easy, but because sometimes the familiar hardships feel safer than the unknown.

And now, years later, the conflicts of the past aren’t what I struggle with most. Instead, it’s the hostility, the slander, and the deliberate attempts to undermine me from within my own industry. After everything I have faced, real conflict, real trauma, real loss, being targeted by people who have never walked a mile in my boots is a different kind of battle. One that tests your resolve in ways you don’t expect.

But I am still standing.

A man is a man, not a coward. I have faced more than most will ever understand, and I continue forward with honesty, strength, and resilience.

Happy International Men’s Day.

Looking forward to Wednesday’s Mantrailing class, where we will be heading into Horley Town Centre to work through a range of structured exercises and introduce several new behaviours. This session will focus on developing precision, confidence, and clarity in both dog and handler within a more dynamic, real-world environment.

We will be refining trail starts, reinforcing commitment at corners, building indication consistency, and introducing controlled pauses to enhance focus and stamina. The urban setting will allow us to expose the teams to new scent challenges, environmental distractions, and a variety of surface changes, key components in building reliable trailing skills.

If you and your dog would like to discover this fantastic activity, feel free to get in touch and try one of our dedicated Mantrailing workshops. It’s an excellent way to build teamwork, confidence, and engagement while giving your dog purposeful mental and physical enrichment.

As the Seasons Change: Reflecting on Mindset, Ours and Our Dogs’

Seasonal transitions offer more than a shift in weather; they present a steady reminder that change is an inherent part of life. In the same way nature moves through its cycles with quiet certainty, both we and our dogs are continuously adapting to new circumstances, pressures, and environments. Reflecting on these changes allows us to understand our own mindset and, just as importantly, the mindset of the dog beside us.

For humans, seasonal change naturally invites introspection. Shorter days may encourage us to slow down, evaluate our routines, and reconsider our priorities. Brighter, longer days may inspire renewed motivation and energy. These shifts influence our emotional state, our levels of patience, our motivation, and even how we perceive challenges. When we recognise this, we are better placed to approach change with purpose and clarity, rather than resistance.

Our dogs experience their own version of this. They may not conceptualise seasons in the way we do, but they respond acutely to change. Altered daylight patterns, temperature shifts, changes in routine, increased indoor time, more visitors, or environmental adjustments within the home can influence a dog’s behaviour, confidence, and stress levels. A dog’s mindset is shaped by predictability, safety, and emotional stability, factors often disrupted during times of transition.

Understanding this parallel creates a shared space for compassion. Just as we benefit from taking a moment to reset and reflect, our dogs benefit from calm guidance, consistent routines, and clear communication. When we feel unsettled, they sense it. When the pace of life shifts, they adjust with us. By acknowledging how change affects both ends of the lead, we reduce frustration and strengthen the bond between handler and dog.

Seasonal change therefore becomes a joint opportunity for growth. We learn to embrace flexibility; our dogs learn through the structure and support we provide. We adapt our expectations; they adapt through the stability we maintain. Both mindsets evolve, season by season, shaped not just by the world around us but by the relationship we build together.
