Scent Detection training is a little different from classes you may have attended previously.
For the Introduction course, we only have 4 dogs per course. We work in rotation, meaning there is only one dog at a time in the training venue. When your dog finishes their session, you will be asked to return your dog to the car or to one of the Day Train Academy rooms to keep them safe and comfortable whilst you return to the venue for observational learning.
This process ensures your dog can have the most relaxed yet focused learning experience and you get to build on your knowledge of the scent training journey!
It also allows the course to be inclusive to those dogs who may struggle around other dogs. This helps brings the power of scent detection to everyone!
This course is designed for dogs aged 6 months and older.
