Scentwork Courses.

Embrace your dog's natural talents, provide a controlled outlet and enhance team work with Focus Dog Behaviour and Training.

The goal of the scentwork courses is for you and your dog to work together as a team, having lots of fun as you grow really impressive skills.  

Each scentwork dog training course is designed with pet dog owners in mind - the focus is on creating the most enjoyable, successful bonding experience for you and your dog.

The courses are suitable for any breed of dog; from Chihuahua to Great Dane.

You don't need to worry if you've never done any scent work before.  Your dog is already an expert in scent. You'll learn how to work together with your dog to harness their natural abilities.

No induction needed - you'll start having fun with your dog on your first class.

You'll also gain eligibility to compete in UK Sniffer Dog trials across the UK with other pet dog teams if you choose to (no pressure). 

As an added extra benefit you'll receive automatic free membership to Shipley Sniffers Club, a budding community of pet dog scent-work hobbyists.

  • The courses are led by Pippa, an ABTC Animal Training Instructor, and Multi-Certified Scent Work Specialist. 
  • Continuation Classes available.  Your training journey doesn't have to stop after you complete your course, a regular continuation class is available. 
  • Courses are available as a group class or 1-2-1 option.
