Scentwork Starter Session Package
The Starter Package is designed to give you and your dog a really solid introduction to scentwork, combining personalised, hands-on training with everything you need to continue practising at home.
Online Scent Scout Course
You’ll also get access to our online Scent Scout Starter Pack, including four lessons exploring the science and benefits of scentwork, plus training exercises to practise at home between your sessions.
Scent Scout is also the first step into the Scentwork Badge Club, and completing it earns your dog their very first woven Scent Scout merit badge!
Your own scentwork kit
You’ll receive a scent kit to take home, so you can safely practise with your target odour between sessions.
Six 1-to-1 training sessions
Six 30-minute sessions working individually with you and your dog. Your dog will develop their searching and problem-solving skills before progressing to finding and indicating on a trained target odour (gun oil). Along the way, you’ll learn practical training techniques and how to recognise the subtle changes in your dog’s behaviour while they search, thus helping you become a confident scentwork team together
The complete Starter Package is £195
Once you’ve completed your starter course, you’ll receive a certificate documenting your achievement. You’ll also be invited to our scentwork events WhatsApp group, where we share upcoming workshops, training opportunities and competitions if you’d like to take your scentwork further.
Certificate + opportunities to keep progressing
Before you book – please check our availability
We’re working hard to increase our availability and are currently looking at both growing our team and finding larger venues. For the moment, starter sessions are available primarily on Mondays or Thursdays with Elly, with a small number of Monday afternoon appointments with Zita also becoming available.
Please have a look through the appointment calendar before purchasing the Starter Package to make sure the available days and times will work for you.
You can look through the calendar without booking anything.
Once you’re happy that the available appointments will work for you, you can purchase your Starter Package here:
After purchasing, you’ll receive your personal booking code. This code covers the cost of six Starter Sessions, which you can then book individually from the available appointments in the calendar. You can choose the dates and times that suit you rather than having to commit to six dates upfront.
We’re really looking forward to welcoming you and your dogs and getting you started on your scentwork journey!
What's Included?
No suitable availability...?
We appreciate that we are often fully booked or with very limited availability for new starters, but don't worry, that doesn't mean you and your dog have to miss out! With our online starter course you can work through the basics and get started all from the comfort of your own home with fun and easy to train activities - no experience needed!
