Senior Sniffers 🐶

Just because our dogs are getting older doesn’t mean they stop needing opportunities to learn, think and enjoy themselves.

In fact, keeping senior dogs mentally active can be hugely beneficial. Cognitive enrichment helps keep their brains engaged, builds confidence, gives them purpose and can be a wonderful way to support their wellbeing as they age.

That’s exactly why we’ve created Senior Sniffers.
A scentwork-based class designed specifically for our older dogs, with their comfort and mobility in mind. Sessions are held on soft grass surfaces, avoiding hard or slippery flooring, and searches are tailored to each individual dog. Hides can be placed at appropriate heights to avoid unnecessary stretching, jumping or pressure on arthritic joints.

Low impact doesn’t mean low benefit.

Scentwork allows dogs to work at their own pace, use their incredible noses, problem solve, build confidence and have fun without placing demands on aging bodies.
Because growing older shouldn’t mean sitting on the sidelines.

To make things easier for both dogs and owners, Senior Sniffers runs once a month as a gentle-paced two-hour session, removing the pressure of attending weekly classes while still providing regular mental enrichment and something special to look forward to.

Suitable for senior dogs of all breeds and abilities, whether they’re still full of beans or prefer life at a steadier pace.

📅 First session: 27th June, 9am
⏰ 2-hour session
💷 £30 per dog

If you’d like to give your senior dog a fun, enriching activity that’s designed with their needs in mind, we’d love to welcome you along. Drop us a message or book your place today and let’s keep those noses working and brains engaged well into their golden years.

GAME ON GUNDOGS

Starting Friday 12th June

This is NOT formal gundog training.

No pressure or trial prep. No serious handling drills.

A fun outlet for natural instincts in a supportive, relaxed environment.

Three different dogs, three very different approaches to scentwork!

Magnus - enjoys his job, little bit of a clown, lives to search, nice sit stare on a high hide.

Marvel - very serious, must get to source and stay there, even if it means engaging every muscle.

Maple - say what now? Princesses don’t go up high, lift me peasant 😂

It’s so important to honour your dog for who they are and realise they’re not all the same. Adjusting your handling and reward style for each dog is necessary!

Not everything has to be about progression, trials, or getting it “right”.

Sometimes… it’s just about having a good time with your dog.

Starting Wednesday 13th May - 6-7pm at the Magnus K9 field we are opening a Scentwork Games Club. This is a space for you and your dog to come along, switch off a bit, and just enjoy working together.

No pressure or expectations and no experience needed.

Instead, just fun games, sniffing, and building that connection in a really relaxed way.

This isn’t structured training.

It’s not about perfect indications or working towards anything.

It’s about letting your dog do what they love… and you enjoying it with them.

£15 pay as you go

All dogs out working together through the games
(Not suitable for reactive dogs or barky dogs for this one)

If you’ve been wanting to give scentwork a go without the pressure… this is your place.

This is for the dogs (and their humans) who want to do more but maybe can’t always get to classes, or just want that extra support in between!

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to progress, this gives you real training, real guidance, and a place to learn.

You’ll get access to our private group with tutorials, training ideas, and support when you need it, plus a monthly live where you can ask questions and get help with your training.

It’s simple, it’s supportive, and it fits around you.
£25 a month. No pressure, just good training and a genuinely lovely community.

Ever wondered what scentwork is all about and why dogs absolutely love it?

Our Beginners Scentwork Workshop is the perfect place to start. Whether your dog is a busy brain, a nervous soul, or just needs a positive outlet for all that natural sniffing instinct scentwork is one of the most fulfilling activities you can do together.

Dogs experience the world through their noses, and when we give them the chance to use that incredible ability, you see confidence grow, focus improve, and the partnership between dog and handler really start to shine.

This two-hour workshop will introduce you to the foundations of scentwork in a fun, supportive environment where you and your dog can learn together. No experience needed, just bring your dog, some rewards, and a willingness to give it a go.

📅 25th April
⏰ 10:00 – 12:00

💷 £45

If you’ve been curious about scentwork or looking for something new to do with your dog, this is the perfect place to start.
