UK Sniffers Dogs Bronze Scent Detection Class

Rating:
A great training course with a wonderfully patient and encouraging trainer. Nikki has really helped our Springer Spaniel puppy develop his innate skills and explore his potential as a sniffer dog. The training has been really engaging and well thought through. Fabio has been really enjoying his classes and so enthusiastic about new challenges of sniffing out Kong and other items in increasingly more difficult activities. We are looking forward to continuing on the training in the future. Thank you Nikki!

Our two adult Cockapoos loved their scent detection classes and were so excited each time we arrived at training. Nikki's calm approach was helpful as one of our dogs is nervous and she explained things clearly and gently to us humans too.

In only a few weeks, both dogs were reliably sniffing out the scent (pieces of Kong) from lots of different places including under flower pots, wedged in garden chairs or hidden around a vehicle. Being new to scent detection, we found it hard to tell that the dogs had found the hidden Kong at first, but training them to sit to indicate their find and worked really well for both human and dog.

Finding a scent is a new stimulating "game" that we can play with the dogs inside or outside and we can't wait to start working towards the Silver award.
