Scent 3 - Skill Builder
Following on from Scent 2, Scent 3 is where you really get to grips with search plans. Becoming systematic in your searches is key to accurate searching where nothing is missed. Learning to search and clear whole areas and even working where there might not be anything to find at first (blank searches) will build search stamina in you and your dog. Add to this a reduction in scent pictures, so smaller scented articles or hiding articles amongst more layers of material, e.g. a box inside a basket, and your scentwork team will really be able to take a deep dive into what you can achieve.
Plus you start to search baggage – bags, suitcases, rucksacks. A chance to work on-lead in deceptively detailed searches that require accuracy, observation and efficiency.
All searches will be appropriate to each individual team and emphasis is placed on teamwork, observation and support. Take home notes will help remind you of what you learned.

Covid-19
Just like everyone who has had their lives and businesses impacted by Covid-19, we have had to adapt in order to keep you and us safe. Many workshops were cancelled. While we were beginning to add new workshops and even managed to run some, current rules mean that it’s unlikely to have any in-person workshops until 2021. Be assured, we will reschedule as soon as it is safe to do so. All workshops will be managed according to the guidelines so that we can stay Covid-19 safe. Why not get a head start by continuing your scentwork journey with us online.
