UK Sniffer Dogs Scent Detection classes
Bronze Scent Detection
Who are the classes for?
Everyone! Any dog, any age can take part.
The UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze Scent Detection classes is a 6 week block of group classes, each class lasts for 1 hour.
At Paige’s Pawfect Dog Training I’m an approved UK SNIFFER DOG’s scent work instructor. Our structured process builds on your dog’s in-built ability to detect target odour.
Scent work for dogs is a growing activity and is becoming popular for dog owners. It differs from traditional obedience as we are training the dog to use their in-built ability and giving them a job.
These sessions will teach you how to scent pair an article for your dog to then indicate on.


As the weeks progress we then move onto making the articles smaller and harder to find.
This is a really engaging six weeks that both you and your dog will get so much enjoyment and reward from.
We will be teaching freeze indications, line up searches, searching chairs, novel environments and vehicle searches.
Scent detection training has long been used widely for working operational and assistance purposes. Drugs, bombs, cash, contraband, human bodies, conservation, medical alert and medical detection.
We aim to give owners the skills to train & take part in scent training activities with their dogs, just like these the Working “Sniffer Dogs”!



Silver Scent Detection


Who are the classes for?
Have you completed the UK Sniffer Dogs bronze level? Then this is the perfect follow on for you and your dog!
In our silver 6- week block of classes we introduce two new target scents, gun oil and catnip as well as teaching your dog a new type of indication which is known as an active search.
During the 6-week block of classes we will cover the following:
Introduction of gun oil to our dog’s scent target library
Working on Pipe, chair, bag, novel environments and vehicle searches
Building on distance, difficulty, duration and distraction of indications
Introduction of a new type of indication (active search) on a new target scent (Catnip)
Teaching our dog to search for the catnip article, retrieve the article and bring it back to us with a delivery to hand
A fun-filled class plus an excellent way of raising the challenge for your dog.

FULL OF ADVICE
“Oscar my 8-month-old golden retriever is tired out after our first training session with Paige.
We wanted to focus training on loose lead walking and recall.
Paige was very good. She gave clear instructions for us to follow.
She was full of advice on training we can do in our back garden and in local parks.
She was very professional. I would highly recommend.”
