Observation & Insight Workshop Pt.2 Scentwork
Observation and Insight Workshop – Part 2: Scent work
This workshop is Part two of a two-part dog sports series, designed to deepen your understanding of your dog through observation, learning, and hands-on experience.
Location: Clowes woods
Delivered in collaboration with K9 Splash and Trail, this unique workshop allows owners to observe their dog being handled by a professional while being coached by an experienced instructor in the sport of scentwork.
Throughout the session, you’ll gain valuable insight into:
- Your dog’s body language
- How dogs learn and problem-solve
- Performance and motivation
- Handler skills and how they influence the dog
- And much more..
By stepping back and observing, owners often see things they can’t when they’re the ones holding the lead.
After the observation phase, you’ll have the opportunity to put your new knowledge into practice during a coached scent scout session of your own. This is filmed, allowing you to review it later in the comfort of your home, alongside a detailed report to support your learning.
This workshop isn’t about perfection — it’s about learning, observing, and building understanding.
Location: Clowes woods.
