Toby, Willow and Gilbert had a lovely time scenting for toys hidden in the undergrowth this morning on a lovely sunny winter’s day. There are plenty of walks and classes still available for February if you want to join us.

It’s an exciting day - our 3 (yes 3 !) new tunnels have arrived ready for March when the new fun dog agility classes start. To complement the longer tunnel that I currently have, there are 2 1m tunnels and a 2m tunnel. I’ll be mixing and matching which I use each class but every dog loves a tunnel !!. I still have spaces available for the classes and each class is between 50 mins and an hour depending on the venue

And here are some of the fabulous dogs who have been on the scent walks recently

This is Cookie finding her toy. Cookie and Abby her pal are still youngsters at 1 year old and they did brilliantly at some off lead scenting followed by learning to settle in a cafe !

Today I can’t get out for a walk because I’m waiting for the boiler man so I’m doing some scent work with Maisie in the house instead. She’s really good at finding clove scent now and Ioves the game - watch her waggy tail !

Teddy and Pudding joined me for a cold, grey scent walk in Filey this morning. Both of them had a great time finding cheese and sausage hidden all around Cobble Landing, on the beach and at Country Park. Well done to both of them !

It was a lovely scent walk today at Wharram Percy medieval village with 4 dogs. Indi, Alby, Abby and Gilbert searched for rabbit skin toys, sausage pieces, clove infused scent and tuggy toys and they were all fantastic. We had plenty of opportunities for the owners to practice some lead walking and impulse control along the way too

Happy New Year to you all. Some of you know that I was struck down by the horrible virus and last weekend’s scent walks were cancelled. I’m hoping that the walks this weekend can go ahead because I’m feeling a bit better (and winter weather permitting), so let me know if you want to book to banish the winter blues !

Our scent walks start again next weekend and they are brilliant for dogs of all ages and breeds. Your dog loves finding the food or toys that I have hidden for them and they go home tired, happy, more confident and relaxed. Come any try one of you haven’t been on one already !

Merry Christmas to my customers, past, present and future. This is Woody doing a bit of scent work on Christmas Day !

Cookie is only 10 months old and we have been teaching her to find scented articles - she was really brilliant at finding clove scented foam pieces this morning in the forest ! Well done to Sarah and Dave her owners for teaching her at home so she could then practice in a new environment 🐾

Pip decided that it was much more fun to find me rather than her toy on our scent walk this afternoon !

Woody has been working on identifying scents in difficult spaces and he picked up the scent of his toy hidden in some leaves from a fair way back this morning !

This morning’s scent walk was with Buddy and Tess, 2 black labs. Here is Buddy showing how he can find a scent tin hidden in the grass with Tess patiently waiting her turn in the background !

Our Scent Walks started this morning and Cookie, Ronnie, Patch, Jason and Suki all had a great time sniffing out treats and toys in the natural environment. This is Ronnie who is a little anxious but he did brilliantly mixing with dogs in the group and not reacting to passers-by because he was focussed and busy finding the sausage !
