Did you know that your dog’s primary sense is smell? Your dog’s nose is a complex instrument and using it is instinctive and rewarding for your dog. That’s why they spend a good proportion of their time on walks with their nose to the ground or sniffing objects.

Doing scent work and tracking with dogs taps into their incredible sense of smell and gives them a natural and fulfilling way to use their instincts. These activities are mentally stimulating, build focus and confidence, and can be enjoyed by dogs of all ages and breeds. Scent work also strengthens the bond between dog and handler, as they learn to communicate and trust each other through the search process. 

Whether it’s for fun, sport, or practical purposes, scent work is a rewarding challenge that helps keep dogs sharp, engaged, and happy.
