🌟A great big well done to Margaret, Derek and Charlie, who recently passed their Introduction to Scentventure!💫

I’ve known Charlie for some time as they’re Club Dogwood members, and I’ve been eyeing up that nose because Charlie loves to use it 😂. I was very excited when Charlie and his humans signed up! We really put that nose to work with not only Scent Detection but also Tracking and Gundog training.

Charlie and his humans smashed every Scentwork challenge 😍 and Charlie clearly loved having a variety of Scentwork to get stuck into.

Margaret and Derek said:

“We have thoroughly enjoyed all of the sessions, and we have learned so much. We love the way you pick up on the smallest details and the way you explain them. Your patience is remarkable, too, and your knowledge of all things ‘Scent’ is amazing.” Thanks so much, my absolute pleasure . Loved our sessions🧡

I can’t wait to see Charlie in Level 1 Scentventure! Great job, Buddy, and of course his fabulous humans 🤩

🌟Scent Team in the spotlight🌟

A moment of rest for our smallest member of Scent class. He may be small, but he proves size does not matter. Benji really has a mighty nose👃

Of course none of that would be possible without Lorna, the other half of this fantastic team 😍

This duo are amazing to watch, both using their skills to solve the searches, which is what Scentwork is all about.

Extra shout out to Lorna, who has been at classes since the start and always makes every new member of the class feel welcome 🧡

… and even lends me her boot to store my many unneeded ‘just in case’ bits for class 😅

Happy 12th Gotcha Day, Alfs!🥳🥳

I love celebrating Gotcha Days. They mark the start of our lives coming together to become a partnership 🧡

What an adventure we’ve been on Buddy! Without a doubt, we would not have Scentventure without those difficult days 🥰

When Alfs was attacked it was most certainly the storm, but Scentventure became the rainbow 🌈

Imagine if I had never discovered Scentwork! What would I even do with my days 😂😂

My love of supporting families with reactive and high-energy dogs all came from Alfs and Scentventure 🧡

The people we have met🧡

Just as powerful are the lessons Alfs has taught me, the days we giggle and are simply silly with our dogs are never wasted 🧡 Here we are enjoying scones at our afternoon tea together. He loves scones if you couldn’t guess 🤣

🌟You have every reason to celebrate, Luna! You’ve passed your Introduction to Scentventure!

During Scentventure we reintroduced Luna to Scent Detection. Last time Luna tried, prior to Scentventure, it wasn’t enjoyable, but this time the steps were tailored so Luna could truly enjoy it.🙌

Luna also worked wonderfully on environment skills 😍

The focus was on activities that can be enjoyed on her walks, even while wearing a muzzle which Luna has to wear as a registered XL Bully.

Big shoutout to Scentventure Guide .louise.hunter who wonderfully handled BOTH Luna and Meg during their Introduction to Scentventure. Fantastic work!😍

🌟We had a very special Scentventure cadet on Saturday, Lord Dogwood II, Scentventure CEO, also known as Franco to his buddies.

There’s something incredibly precious about Franco becoming a Scentventure cadet. The history of Scentventure is never forgotten by any of us and I have no doubt Franco will continue to blossom Scentventure in his own unique journey ahead.

Franco is settling into his new home and navigating adolescence. Lord or not, these stages can bring some challenging moments, so I am very much looking forward to supporting Franco, Katie and Ruben. What an honour to be part of their already powerhouse team. I have not quite won Katie and Ruben over for Scentventure surfing just yet😅🤣, but it has been lovely to discover what else Franco enjoys! More on that soon!

It was definitely a surreal moment for me. I first met Katie when I brought my own dog Alfs to Scentventure and now here we are, giving Franco his own Scentventure adventures.

Now this Lords only requests that everyone admire the toy he sniffed out and found. Just look at that joyful parade.😍 Two happy faces🧡

For dogs that love toys and play, connection through play is incredibly valuable for their development and for strengthening their bond with us humans. Sometimes it is not even about touching the toy but about sharing that proud moment while they parade it around.

Welcome, Franco🤩

Maybe you shouldn’t train your dog 🤷‍♀️ Hear me out!😅

My Wilderness Explorers blanket has arrived! Of course I had to share our first Chewsday on it!

🎒Wilderness Explorers is a Club course with Expeditions to complete with your dog, each one creating memories together. Every Expedition comes with a badge to sew on the blanket as a memento of the memories made.

I love this course so much. It’s a lovely reminder that our time with our dogs shouldn’t be all about training. There’s so much to be said about taking time to just switch off with your dogs. There are so many benefits to simply being together, creating memories, and strengthening bonds.

It also actually ties nicely into my Scentwork Q&A tonight, about if you’re too tired to do your Scentwork session… I say simply skip it! Energy doesn’t gather doing more. And you know those super clever noses that pick up odour? They can also pick up if you’re not feeling it! We’re also more likely to make mistakes whilst tired. Short sessions, when you have energy, are far more effective at building progress 🐾

🥰Possibly my favourite thing about the group classes is when fellow attendees like Betty here become part of the reward for the dogs after their searches.

Just look at Molly’s dropped toy, which is usually her top reward, to celebrate her search with Betty cuddles.

I see it so often, dogs wanting to share their success with the class, and the class rightly makes sure every dog feels like the star of the show. Sometimes this is with cuddles, other times it’s being told their prize reward toy is amazing. Even when it’s a soggy, muddy toy 😂
