Uk Sniffer dogs Scent detection for pet dogs
To improve dog's lives through nosework. By applying our knowledge as dog trainers and scent instructors, we have developed a program that will enable owners to give their dogs positive scent experiences, not only teaching them to work and play with scent, allowing dogs to make choices, using scent to rectify problems in pet dogs when it comes to behaviour.
The Power of Nosework is endless! Ideal for all dogs and great for aggressive or nervous dogs
Walk and train
Dogs need to exercise for their bodies and minds; a daily walk often gives our dogs lots of physical exercise, but finding the time to exercise their intelligence is more difficult! Giving your dog a way to engage their natural instincts and brain power leaves them more relaxed and happy, and that means a more harmonious household.
Our Walk and Train service is aimed at providing mental and physical exercise for your dog, on a one-to-one basis. It’s perfect for:
owners who don’t have the time or expertise to work on a particular training weakness or problem, particularly at present with face to face unavailable
dogs who need more focused exercise, which is mentally as well as physically engaging
dogs who need additional walks but aren’t comfortable walking in groups or in areas where they may meet strange dogs
What does Walk and Train include?
Every Walk and Train session includes a full walk and plenty of mental exercise based on your dog’s individual requirements. This might include working on any training weaknesses your dog might have, including recalls, loose lead walking, or impulse control (leave it), or might be engaging them in active training such as tracking and nosework, clicker tricks, or obedience games. Most of our Walk and Train sessions focus on working with your dog around your local, familiar setting. You can also bring your dog to our private training facility in Bradford for their session.
Each session also includes an update for you on how training is progressing, and suggestions to maintain improvements at home.

1-2-1 man trailing
Mantrailing is when a dog is trained to follow and find an individual human. This feat is achieved by harnessing (no pun intended!) the dog’s existing ability to follow scent as it would when hunting its prey. The sole focus of a mantrailing dog needs to be on an individual human scent, ignoring all other distractions.
A dog who is left to its own devices may begin hunting one prey but might switch to another easier prey trail it encounters along the way, as its priority is to find food. Thus, the training of a mantrailing dog focuses on teaching the dog to discriminate between the scent of the target human and multiple other interesting scents also in the environment.
