You will learn the building blocks of scent training. These are the exercises that we go back to, irrespective of what level our dogs are working at.

Foundations solidify what we are asking from our dogs and ensure that they are confident in their search. Whether you are just starting or have been competing for a while, you will find our course beneficial.​ 

To ensure you’re set up for success, you'll also receive a custom-designed Scent Detection Kit—including your own scent hides—so you can continue practicing your new skills at home.

​​​​

Is your dog ready to take their nosework to the next level?

Our Motivation & Confidence course is designed to build an unstoppable search drive in your canine partner. In this class, we move beyond the basics to help your dog become a more focused, resilient, and independent searcher.

​​

We will focus on teaching your dog to stay on task despite real-world sights, sounds, and smells, work across different surfaces, and develop the stamina and intense desire to keep working hard, even when they are further away from the odor source.​​​​

The Perfect Progression

Currently training at a Novice or Intermediate level? Are there specific elements that seem to elude you or your dog? Our Search & Refine class is the perfect step toward gaining your qualifications without the stress.

​

We focus on sharpening your searching skills, polishing the nitty-gritty details, and curbing those undesirable behaviors that can surface when working on unknown hides.

​

Transitioning from foundational training to competitive or advanced levels often reveals small gaps in communication or technique. This class is designed to bridge those gaps

​

Our Proofing course is the next step after Foundations.

In this course, you will grow your dog's commitment to the odour, continue to build a solid indication, and start working around distractions outside.

This course is also designed for handlers who have already completed an imprinting class with their dogs somewhere else and want to build on their dogs’ current skills.

​

Ready to start competing in Novice and Intermediate?

Transitioning from foundation training to the Novice and Intermediate levels is an exhilarating milestone, but it also brings a new set of challenges. Whether you’re eyeing your first qualifying ribbon or looking to sharpen your skills for a move up the ranks, this course is your comprehensive roadmap to trialing success.

​

We go far beyond simple hides by diving deep into the specific skills that separate a standard search from a winning performance. You will develop specialized strategies for Interior, Exterior, Container, and Vehicle searches specifically tailored to Novice and Intermediate regulations. Understanding odour dynamics is also a core focus; we teach you how to "read" the air by exploring how airflow, temperature, and environmental obstacles affect scent plumes, ensuring you can support your dog through even the most complex puzzles.

​​​​​​​​​​

Elevating Your Team's Skills​

​Designed specifically for our Advanced and Excellence-level teams, this dynamic class is tailored to push your dog’s natural sniffing abilities to the next level.

Now that you and your dog have mastered the fundamentals, it is time to introduce complex, real-world scenarios that will truly test your teamwork and problem-solving skills.

​

Beyond the hides themselves, this course focuses heavily on the human end of the leash and the nuances of handler-dog communication.

​​

​

Turn your dog’s natural sniffing power into a fun, rewarding hobby! Our Kids Club breaks down scent training into bite-sized steps designed specifically for young handlers and their furry best friends.

​

By teaching the "building blocks" of scent work, we make it easy for even the youngest trainers to lead the way. These exercises are designed to boost your dog's confidence and success, helping to create an unbreakable bond between your child and their pet. Whether your dog is a total beginner or already has some experience, our foundations-focused approach ensures they master the essential skills every time.

To help your child keep practicing, each student receives a Custom Scent Detection Kit. This includes their very own "scent hides," so the detective games can continue in your living room or backyard!
