My passion lies in all things nosework, particularly in its ability to forge stronger connections between people and their dogs.

A huge congratulations to “Team Quest Prutis” showing off their skills at the Ace Tails Scentwork Pairs trial today. They came home with an amazing third place 🤩

Well done Elly & Otis and Anita & Prue!!

Well, I guess summer is officially over! 🍂

There have been so many lovely moments and successes from so many Scent Quest teams over the past few months, and I’m sad I didn’t share more of them as they were happening.

So here’s just a small selection of some of those successes 🏵️ It’s been so lovely seeing all your hard work pay off!

Amazing work, everyone 😊

Hey all! It’s probably time I properly introduced the newest member of the Scent Quest family.

Meet BertBert (officially Wrigglebutts Sojourner), who is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has come all the way from Norway 🇳🇴 She joined us a few weeks ago and has been busy settling into life in the UK, learning the ropes from big sister Asha, and, of course, starting her scentwork journey.

She’s confident, curious, chatty, VERY enthusiastic about food, and not a huge fan of rain.

I'm taking her training right back to the beginning and letting her learn how to use that little nose, explore search areas and solve problems for herself. So you’ll probably be seeing some of her scentwork journey on here as she grows up. I'm going to try out some different nosework training techniques for starting her off compared to what I did with Asha, so that will be interesting too.

She’s got some pretty big paws to follow, but we’re very excited to see what kind of search dog she becomes 🐽

Welcome to Scent Quest, BertBert 💕

Ps, if you wan't you can follow her at .is.bertbert to see what she's up to outside of sniffing :P

I’ve been a bit quiet in the Scent Quest page lately, but it’s been for a good reason! Behind the scenes I’ve been working on a huge project which I’m now ready to share…

The Scentwork Badge Club is officially live! It’s a variety of scentwork training challenges and real merit badges to earn with your dog, so that we remember to celebrate the journey and all the little milestones along the way.

Have a look to see what it’s all about!

What a weekend we’ve had! Team Scent Quest hosted the Scent Detection section at the ProDog Beach Fest and held taster sessions for almost 70 dogs!! It was great meeting pups of all different breeds, sizes, and ages, and showing their owners what great sniffers they are.

We also previewed for the first time ever the brand new Scentwork Badge Club books and badges 👀

During the day we held demo sessions where the amazing Gemma and Otis showed off their skills and we were able to answer lots of interesting questions from the audience.

It was a crazy busy good time, and I’m eternally grateful to the Scent Quest team of Elly, Dee, Bob, Alex, Anita, and Sue who kept me supported, hydrated, fed, and just generally alive!

Well done to everyone who came along to take part 😊

Clever Gemma working on line ups with her favourite toys as distractions. Smashed it 😎🙌

We've been at a charity warehouse in Clevedon this morning where we held a Pre-Entry trial for The National Nosework Association before the heat set in. The sky was kind to us, with it staying relatively cloudy for our outside searches. The big challenge for handlers today wasn't the weather though, but apparently a bit of competition nerves! 🫣 Thankfully after a rocky start with the vehicle searches, everyone settled into the flow and remembered to trust their training and their dogs. All teams had much improved exterior searches, and were smashing it by the time they did their interior searches 🔥 Pleased to say they all earned their Selection Test badges too 😄

🏆 Our reserve team was Anita with Prue and our winner was Elly with Otis.

Well done!

We had a lovely Sunday morning running a Foundation Level trial for The National Nosework Association over at Yatton Rugby Club. Ten teams competed, with this being the first NNA trial for five of them. I was really pleased with how all the teams worked and it was so nice seeing everyone’s training paying off.

I gave out one Synergy badge to Amy & Cedar for their beautiful interior search.

Our winner was Alex & Conker, and reserve was Alessia & Florence.

Thank you to Elly for being the TO and keeping everything running smoothly, and of course to Otis who was our white dog testing the search areas.

A great morning with a lovely group of people and dogs 😄🐾

A lovely bit of air scenting from Sky 😊 No trending music or long-winded caption needed. Just enjoy watching how incredibly awesome dogs are and how cool it is to get to visualize odour movement through their problem solving.
