Scent Detection Introduction places available Thursday evenings starting 23rd January (Venue: Harbour Rd Inverness)
Scentwork is where our dogs use their noses to find a small amount of a specific odour - similar to police, military or conservation dogs
Scentwork harnesses your dogs natural nose skills, provides mental stimulation & builds overall confidence. An awesome, enriching & rewarding activity.
Our students find it tires their dogs out, helps to build focus in lots of environments.
Start with the basics of theory, scent id, passive indication, search technique & handling skills. Facebook group for support.
Dogs work individually to ensure the best learning environment - all sensitive, nervous dogs welcome.

Thank you to everyone who attended our The National Nosework Association Foundation Trial judged by Kirsty Corsar. Storm Bert was kind to us, so we managed to have great day, timed with a dry exterior search.

All competitors displayed lovely teamwork, with 2 teams achieving all 3 element badges. Selection proved tricky for some on the day despite confident handling skills from all.
The wind direction at the exterior hide drew some away from the source with most catching odour again whilst searching back the opposite direction - wonderful to watch.

Congratulations to :
Winner Carolyn & Mac, Flatcoat Retriever
Reserve Robert & Zest, Weimaraner

Robert & Zest also gained their last remaining element badge, staging up to Pre-Entry Level.

Thank you to Highland Alarms Ltd for allowing us to search such a fantastic venue & to all our competitors who made the trial such a joy to judge. There is nothing better than seeing teams happy at work & keen to go forward with their training plans after their trial experience & feedback. Well done to everyone!
