‘Sniff it Out – Out and About’ – Scent Work Buddy – Booked hourly     £65

Within this sniffy session we can meet up at alternative areas to the training hall so you and your dog can advance your skills further with having your hides placed out for you. This enables you to practice with ‘blind’ finds.  Blind finds enable you to enhance your observation skills in being able to read your dog’s body languages displayed within the search and also prevent you from influencing the search with your own movements and of course some extra tuition on the go if required.
