Together, they dive nose-first into the fascinating world of scent.Listen in as they chat about why scentwork is one of the most accessible and enriching activities for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and experience levels. Whether your dog is driven by food, toys, or sheer curiosity, scentwork can tap into their natural instincts and provide an enriching and purposeful outlet for their energy.Dave shares why solid foundations are the cornerstone of success in scent training. From teaching your dog the basics of searching to ensuring consistency in your cues, these early steps build the confidence and clarity needed for both you and your dog to make a brilliant scentwork team. And don’t worry – you don’t need a professional setup to get started! Dave explains how you can begin at home with simple, everyday items.One of the standout benefits of scentwork? The incredible mental and physical enrichment it provides. It’s not just about finding objects – it’s about giving your dog a job, a purpose, and an outlet for their innate abilities. For reactive or “Naughty But Nice” dogs, scent training can be a game-changer, offering them a focus that helps reduce stress and redirect their energy in positive ways.If you’ve ever fancied trying scentwork with your own dog but weren’t sure whether it was a good fit for you and your dog, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to give it a go.
