RY Dogs is delighted to be able to join forces with Scent and Sniff dogs Cornwall (www.scentandsniffdogscornwall.co.uk).

Scentwork not only facilitates some of the behavioural work carried out by RY, it also provides a great, low intensity, form of enrichment and is perfect for ALL dogs of ALL ages and ALL breeds and can be carried out by all owners.

What is Scentwork?

  • Scentwork is a low impact activity providing your dog with an intense mental workout. You and your dog will work together to learn structured searching, indication and scent recognition.

Through its nose, a dog can discover, decipher and experience a variety of things, thereby adding to its overall enrichment. During the lesson progressions, you will rapidly see your dog grow in confidence. Unlike many other dog activities, both owner and dog, get a great deal of fulfilment from the experience.

Benefits of Scentwork: 

  • Scentwork is a great activity, accessible for all dogs whether they are young or old, reactive, nervous, or anxious. 

  • Scentwork is not only hugely confidence building, but also gives your dog an opportunity to problem solve and focus.  

  • It improves the bond between owner and dog and allows you to become more in tune at reading your dog’s body language. 

  • Scentwork and searching can be done anywhere. 

  • Scentwork is a great way to satisfy and tire a dog out. Just 10 minutes of scentwork can be the equivalent to an hours run! 

  • It gives your dog a perfect outlet for their best asset, their nose.
