Dog takes scent from discarded coffee cup. Handler trails dog through town to find the trail layer at the railway station, whose scent is on the coffee cup. Super dog.

Physio body check, maintenance, pampering and ongoing treatment was the order of the day for these 3. The white collie x Maisie and Frank the Boxer have already had their treatment session. Look how relaxed and content they are. 🩷🤎

This is exactly why you should put your phone away, stop talking, and just be present with your dog🐕

Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do. I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.

The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new. The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.

There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.

You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here. But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.

To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle. When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.

So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface.

"Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." – Orhan Pamuk

In scentwork, our dogs are constantly communicating through their incredible noses. 🐶👃 As handlers, it's our responsibility to learn how to listen. 🎧 Each time they engage with a scent, it's like they're speaking their own language of scent!

Scentwork is not just about detection; it's about understanding and connection. Watching your dog solve scent puzzles is truly fascinating—unlocking that special bond. 💖

Who else is learning to 'hear' their dog better through scentwork? Share your favourite moments of teamwork with your dog below! ⬇️

A little snippet of what we are doing in our Scentwork classes. The nose knows. 1 drop of truffle oil hidden in a brick, bag, book, table and more. 20 minutes of high frequency sniffing is equivalent to an hours free running. A physical and mental workout for your dog.

When you're 19 weeks old, everything is growing and your baby teeth are falling out. After an early breakfast and mooching, sniffy walk, it's time for Mummy cuddles and a snorey, sleepy, Sunday siesta.
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE. XX
