Next Fun Scent Workshop: 17th March and 18th March 11.30am until 2pm and the final 'Mystery' session will run on the 25th March at 11.30am (until the teams solve the mystery?!!).
This course takes a maximum of 6 dogs and is an outdoor workshop (cost £70). Once the training has been completed on the first two sessions, the dogs and handlers are ready to work as a team (or two teams) to solve a mystery!!
You will learn all the skills needed to teach your dog the basis of tracking, search and rescue and scent discrimination over the course of the first weekend. On the final day, the following Sunday, owners and handlers will get the chance to put this into practise to follow a track, possibly picking out clues as they go?, find a person and pin-point a specific scent in order to solve the mystery or crime!!
We do have an awful lot of fun on this course and you'll be amazed at what your dog can do!! (and we mean any dog! - from spaniels and labradors to Staffies and jack russels - we've seen them all do brilliantly!!).
Book early to avoid disappointment!
