Calm Starts Here
Scent work gives your dog the kind of fulfilment no walk, toy or chew can touch.
When a dog uses their nose, they’re tapping into the deepest part of who they are and the effect is instant. Just fifteen minutes of scent work can drain more energy than an hour long walk and leave even the busiest, most chaotic dogs calm, satisfied and settled. It strengthens your relationship, builds focus, boosts confidence, and gives you a way to truly meet your dog’s needs even on the days when life feels all too much. This course shows you exactly how to give your dog that satisfaction at home, any time you need it.
