Sniff and Search

The aim of this class is to teach the already enhanced sense of smell to find different scents in unusual circumstances and items. This form of mental stimulation not only calms a dog but helps calm and tire them. It is a brilliant way of having an activity and working with your dog whether it is for competition or just for fun!!

Recent Testimonial

We got in touch with Debbie soon after we adopted Martha, a gorgeous but very nervous and overwhelmed Romanian rescue dog. From the first phone call, she gave us confidence and support that calmed our anxiety and after just a few visits helped us transform Martha in to a confident, adventurous dog who now fully loves life. We cannot recommend Debbie enough... her passion for the dogs she works with, her knowledge, expertise, tailored support and advice are amazing. Debbie has played a major part in giving our Martha a whole new, exciting life.
