Beyond the Search

Using Scent Detection to Support Behaviour & Confidence

Discover how scent detection can become a valuable addition to your everyday dog training toolkit!

At UK Sniffer Dogs, we've always believed that scent detection is about so much more than finding a hidden scent. It's an activity dogs naturally enjoy, and one that can be used creatively to build confidence, develop positive associations and support everyday behaviour training.

Following our presentation at DogX, we're excited to introduce Beyond the Search, a practical and interactive CPD workshop exploring how we can incorporate scent detection into a wide variety of training and behaviour cases.

From reactivity and common puppy challenges to fear-based behaviours and much more, we'll explore how scent detection can complement traditional training approaches, creating positive and rewarding experiences for both dogs and their owners.

What will we explore?

• Using scent detection to help build positive associations and confidence.

• Incorporating scent-based activities into everyday behaviour and training cases.

• Adapting familiar scent detection exercises to suit individual dogs and their needs.

• Real-life case studies, practical demonstrations and creative problem-solving.

• Helping owners become more confident and engaged in their dog's training journey.

• Thinking beyond traditional scent detection classes to expand your training toolkit.

Who is this workshop for?

Ideal for dog trainers and scent detection instructors looking to expand their skills and discover creative ways to incorporate scent work into their one-to-one training and behaviour sessions.

Through theory, live demonstrations and interactive discussions, you'll leave with fresh ideas and practical approaches you can apply to your own training cases.

Because sometimes, helping a dog feel differently about something starts with incorporating something they already love doing.
