Talking Dogs Scentwork®

Start here

Structured scentwork training without guesswork.

Start with solid foundations. Build your skills properly. Stretch your searches so they become longer, richer and more involved. Then apply what you’ve learned in specific search types and real world contexts.

No drama. No guesswork. Just clear training that makes sense to you and your dog.

Scentwork for all

Using my supportive, structured system, dogs of all breeds, ages and abilities can experience real success and genuine enjoyment through Talking Dogs Scentwork®.
Reactive dogs quickly discover that searches provide a safe, focused outlet where they can relax and learn without pressure.
Dogs with reduced mobility or different physical abilities work alongside their peers, their noses just as capable and just as engaged.
Handlers using wheelchairs or walking aids, living with autism or other challenges, or simply starting from scratch are welcomed and supported.
Young or old. Novice or professional. Companion dog or working breed. Success is built on structure, not status.
Time and again, this approach proves that high standards and inclusivity belong together. No dog is dismissed because of breed, background or behaviour. No handler is excluded because of experience, confidence or circumstance. Talking Dogs Scentwork® is for every dog and every handler.
