Scent work is all about your dog using their nose to find a certain scent and them letting you know when they’ve found it.
It is scientifically proven that sniffing releases happy endorphins for dogs. We also know that Scentwork is both mentally stimulating and physically tiring for your dog. It's also great fun!
Scentwork is suitable dogs of any age, breed, size, temperament or physical condition and can be really helpful focus for anxious or stressed dogs too.
At Posh Collar Academy we provide opportunities for you to have fun with your dog while learning new life skills together and our Scentwork Snifter introduction class reflects this.
The class consists of two, two-hour sessions where we focus on basic food scent detection for pet dogs.
This will help you further strengthen the bond between you and your dog by giving you opportunities to work together as a pair, getting and keeping your pet dogs nose engaged, while teaching you both fun things that you can replicate at home.
With every Scentwork Snifter Workshop or course you attend, you get a free doggy bag filled with Posh Collar goodies!
Numbers are limited, so to secure your place please book as soon as possible.

Yes! Dogs of all ages can benefit from scent work. The only requirement for attending classes is that your dog is fully vaccinated.
Yes! Scent work is particularly great for dogs who are no longer able to be as physically active as they once were, as their brains will be doing all the hard work. There’s no need for them to run or navigate any obstacles if they don't wish to or can't. All exercises will be adapted to suit their ability.
We provide all of the scent work equipment so all you really need are some treats, water, poo bags and your dog. Although you may want to bring a bed for your dog and a chair or blanket for you to sit on for the outside sessions. There will be short breaks during the sessions for you to have some food and drink if you wish. Full details will be provided upon booking.
Absolutely! Multiple family members are welcome to attend the workshop together. Due to the length of the sessions, it is not recommended to bring young children (under 6). Maximum 2 people per dog please.
