Does your dog work at the right speed? What is the right speed? How do you change their speed? Should you change their speed? Is your dog speedy or steady?

I've been thinking about what I look for when sourcing a new trainer to help me and my dog. I thought it might be useful to share the elements that I need from my trainer/teacher/coach so that you can look for these when you want to learn something new. They apply to all trainers, not just scentworkers. So whether you want to learn yoga, painting, gardening or dog training, look for these 5 elements so that you (and your dog) have a great learning experience.

Let your dog sniff. Walks aren’t about route marches or time. They’re about quality and enrichment. Sniffing is a huge part of that. So take it easy, let your dog stop and sniff, they’ll come back feeling good physically and mentally 😊

Lightbulb moments are special. They feel great. The dog can feel it, the handler can feel it. As a trainer I can see these moments happen. Oh and my, does that feel good too!
So to have your lightbulb moment, come on over to my Detector Dog School and let’s get sniffing! Link is, of course, in bio!

Age is no barrier to learning scentwork. Our many years of experience in this field has shown that adaptations can be made to help youngsters, seniors and everyone in between to learn scentwork. Not every handler or every dog fits into a neat little training box. I’m here to help you find the best way to enjoy scentwork with your dog.

WARNING: cool completely
If you’ve ever given your dog a YakSnak or Yakkers bar there comes a time when there’s a piece that’s too small to chew as it could easily be swallowed and your dog could choke on it. But don’t throw it away - cook it in the microwave! It’s made of milk so cooking will make it puff up, turning it into a crunchy snack.
It only takes about a minute. Watch it while it cooks so that it doesn’t burn. That burnt milk smell is awful!
WARNING: it’s VERY hot when it comes out of the microwave so you must allow it cool completely before giving it to your dog or touching it yourself.

You don’t need to spend hours planning and setting up complicated searches in order to practise duration. Searching for a toy on a walk can help build this skill. By searching on a slope and at distance I’m also encouraging resilience and independence on top of some great physical and mental exercise.
Give it a go, your dog will thank you!
