Your Partner in Positive Dog Training

At Forever Home Dog Training we are approved UK SNIFFER DOG's scent work instructors. Our structured process builds on your dog's inbuilt ability to detect target odour.

Scent work for dogs is a growing activity and is becoming popular for dog owners. It differs from traditional obedience as we training the dog to use their in built ability and giving them a job.

I am Gareth and I am the founder of Forever Home Dog Training.

These sessions will teach you how to scent pair an article for your dog to then indicate on.

As the weeks progress we then move onto making the articles smaller and harder to find.

This is a really engaging six weeks that both you and your dog will get so much enjoyment and reward from.

We will be teaching freeze indications, line up searches, searching chairs, novel environments and vehicle searches.
