Scentwork engages dogs by tapping into their natural ability to sniff out specific scents. It challenges their minds, boosts confidence, and strengthens the bond with their owners. This fun and rewarding activity keeps dogs mentally sharp, reduces stress, and provides the enrichment they crave through purposeful play.
At FurryTails, we offer group workshops and 1-1 sessions, so you can pick a training style that suits you and your dog.
The one thing that remains the same, no matter the class or session, we prioritise a safe and positive environment.
Scentwork is fantastic for dogs. It provides mental stimulation, a physical workout and reduces stress, creating happy, confident dogs.

In the UK Sniffer Dogs Detection workshops, we set up exercises to challenge the dog's sniffing ability. In this video, Kallie is searching for gun oil odour in amongst the chairs, bags and pipe line up search.
"We really enjoyed the UK Sniffer Dog workshop run by Jo. It was fun and relaxed, with a good balance of activities and breaks for the dogs. I’ve been practising what we did at home and looking forward to the next one! Great for building calming, enrichment and focus"
