Private Scent Detection Course, Swansea

Scent detection is an activity to engage and stimulate your dogs mind and strengthen your communication and bond with your dog.

As an activity that utilises their incredible sense of smell (which is at least 10,000 times better than our own!) it is the perfect way to channel your dogs energy. When a dog sniffs, it releases dopamine which is a neurotransmitter that makes your dog feel GOOD.

For hyperactive dogs, this helps give them a focus and develops a set of skills which you can use in your every day life together. For anxious dogs, engaging in scent detection activities can support relaxation and their ability to focus in different environments.

The course consists of 3 60 minute sessions with just you, your family and dog with the trainer. These are held 1 week apart in Upper Killay, Swansea.  Alternatively, if your dog really struggles around distractions, they are available in a private field in Bishopston.

In these sessions you will learn how to handle and teach your dog to search and indicate on specific scents. You will be provided with a scent kit to practice at home.
