We like to give a little back..

💥💥CALLING ALL RESCUES AND RESCUE STAFF/VOLUNTEERS💥💥

We know you work your socks off, so this is a free event just for you!

This free evening presentation is aimed at staff and volunteers working in a rescue kennel environment.
Both Jemma and Claire have been involved in rescue for a long time, with Jemma working full time in rescue for 7 years previously.
We know rescue is a tough environment for the dogs (and the humans) and we hope to give you some fun and easy activities that can be incorporated into kennel life and walk/play sessions.

Scent work and sniffing can have a very positive impact on a dogs mental well-being and can help build confidence and give the dogs an outlet.
We know budgets are stretched for all rescues so this presentation is free to attend, but you will need an email from the rescue you work/volunteer at just to confirm.
🐾when? 6.30 July 16th

💥 Venue TBA, but Indoors in the Huddersfield area.

Sorry no dogs in the venue for this one.

Scent Ops are operational style scentwork competitions aimed at both sport and companion dogs, with progressive levels, feedback at the time, and awesome rosettes plus lots more! We are really excited to be running these classes and events.

🚀 Three workshops! Each workshop builds on things learnt in the previous one, with a two week gap in between each so you have plenty of time to practice.

Part One:16th Janurary 2025

Part Two: 30th January 2025

Part Three: 13th February 6th 2025

Our friends Canine Detection Academy have an exciting instructor course coming up, we love training with them especially Mavis hound 😎🤩
Head over and take a look 👀

Learning to confidently work with dogs of different breeds is an important element of our instructor course.

Yes, scent detection can be fun for pretty much every dog BUT it has to be taught in a way that is appropriate for that individual dog in front of us.

As dog trainers we should be able to adjust to our clients and create a fun learning experience they can enjoy whether they have a ball mad spaniel or a food motivated lurcher.

We're very proud of our TrackStars scheme, and are excited to bring it to more people across the UK and beyond. So..starting in January 2025, we are launching our very own TrackStars instructor scheme.

Become an accredited Scent and Track UK TrackStars instructor and run youe own sessions and assess your own teams.

What is TrackStars? TrackStars is our tracking and trailing scheme (searching for articles, not people,so great for reactive or nervous dogs) where teams can progress at their own pace to earn Titles and badges. Great for confidence building and relationship building, TrackStars aims to tap in to our dogs natural talents and have fun while we do it.

This isn't a 4 days and go home with a certificate kind of course. This will be an in depth theory and practical course, run over approximately 6 months,with 9 days in person coaching, and online work as well. You will also need to train and qualify your dog to TS3 title level as part of the assessment process.

The first intake will start in January 25, there are only 2 spaces left💥👀
The practical dates for this first instructor course are
Jan 27th to 29th
March 24th to 26th
May 20th to 22nd
You need to attend all the dates here in Huddersfield as part of the course, as well as completing online work.

There is a huge discount on this first instructor intake as a thankyou for joining us so early.🐾

[email protected]

Priority will be given to applicants in a different geographical area to those already booked, unless you work together.

We're so excited for this, it's going to be fantastic 💥🐾
