Scent Workshop
A relaxed, playful introduction to scent work, designed to help you see, understand and appreciate your dog in a whole new way.
Most of us never really get to see what our dogs are truly capable of.
Life with a dog can quickly become about walks, routines and teaching the things we think they should learn. But so many dogs go through life without the chance to really think for themselves, problem solve, search, play and engage with the world in the way that comes naturally to them. And because of that, a lot of people never get to experience just how incredible their dog actually is.
Our Scent Workshop is a relaxed, playful way into the world of scent work. Over two hours, you and your dog will be introduced to searching for a target odour, building motivation through play, learning the foundations of indication work, and starting some simple searches together. Most importantly, you’ll get to watch your dog think, problem solve and genuinely enjoy learning in a way that makes complete sense to them.
Scent work here is taught with a thoughtful, dog-centred approach that cares just as much about understanding the dog in front of you as it does the practical skills. The dogs already know how to use their noses. We’re simply helping you learn how to guide, support and motivate them, while giving them room to think and work things out for themselves.
One of the things people are most surprised by is how quickly dogs get the game, and how much they love it. As your dog starts searching and working with the odour, you often notice a different side to them, calmer, more switched on, more thoughtful, and far more capable than you’d realised. For a lot of people, this is the moment they start to see their dog differently.
In the workshop:
- A relaxed introduction to scent work for dogs aged six months and older
- The foundations of searching, play, motivation and indication work
- Practical searches built to create confidence and success
Simple ways to keep scent work going at home and in everyday life - Thoughtful coaching throughout
- A warm welcome into the Love Your Paws way of doing things
Spaces are limited so every dog and owner gets the time, room and support they need. These workshops run only now and then, and they tend to fill quickly.
If you’d love to understand your dog better while bringing more play, purpose, confidence and connection into everyday life together, this is the perfect place to start.
