💫Only on week Two of Introduction to Scentventure and Toby is aceing it as a Scentventure superstar!🌟

Having never done Scent Detection before, he’s already searching the shelter for his odour, which is now completely hidden, and when he finds it, he’s indicating like a pro!

The secret to this is knowing what to train, when to train it, and how long suits Toby. Less truly is more ⏱️

This keeps him keen and able to learn which is absolutely essential… oh and one last key ingredient… SLEEP! 😴 That’s right, sleep was on Toby’s homework list..

Seriously, where were my teachers to give me homework like sleep?! 😂

🎧Head over to podcast to find out exactly why short training sessions really can lead to success and how to get it right for you and your dog. Trust me it’s a must listen!

🌟Lora and Brian have smashed their online Introduction to Scentventure! 💫

They’re not new to Scentwork but wanted to get back into regular sessions and explore ways to progress their skills.

I absolutely love Brians’ enthusiasm to get searching. He really loves it 😍 Tonight we started looking at outdoor searches. I love this stage because it opens up so many options, including working towards doing Scentwork on walks 🌳

But Scentwork isn’t just about our dogs and their noses. The human side of the team is just as important. Lora did a fantastic job working with Brian, helping him navigate the searches and reading his body language to understand how he was searching 💪🐕‍🦺

Lora said about their sessions

“I can’t thank Justine enough for our sessions.

She is such a fountain of knowledge and incredibly supportive, and I wish I had her in my back pocket at all times to provide endless nerdy science facts. That will probably be the first section of the new course I read when it comes out!”

Thanks Lora! Well, whilst I may be small, I’m sadly not going to be Scentventure’s version of Polly in your pocket 😅😂 But soon you’ll have the course in your pocket on your phone 📱 Close enough, right?! 😂

Great work guys!😍

Here’s Barney feeling very pleased with his Introduction to Scentventure Rosette 🏵️🐾.

Barney absolutely loves using his nose 👃 and it has been amazing watching him put it to good use.

I could speak all day about Barney and his progress, but who better to hear from than his human, Joanne:

🗣️ ”Barney and I have just completed the Introduction to Scentventure. Before starting, he was a typical energetic Labrador who struggled to switch off and was easily distracted.

During the sessions, Justine explained how his brain works and how to help him focus. With practice, Barney is becoming calmer and more engaged. Watching him work through scent challenges has been very rewarding.

When he recently injured his paw, scent work provided a valuable low-impact activity. I’m proud of his progress and look forward to seeing him develop further.”

You’ve done absolutely fabulous Joanne and Barney! I can’t wait to see you both again soon. Well done guys! 🧡.

After a bit of a break from Scent Detection, Summer most certainly hasn’t forgotten and was right on it!😍

So with that… who’s ready to brush off their Scent kit for next month if it’s been gathering dust? 🙋‍♀️

So exactly who were the Traitors? 🤔😂😂😂 All will be revealed soon…

01/06/2025

Well that’s a wrap! 🙌

Team Mantrailing and Scent Detection came together for The Scent Detector vs the Traitors Spring 2025.

And whilst Team Traitors had an unexpected high sign-up rate 😂 the Scent Detectives had a distinct lack of recruits, but they were loyal and actually refused to go to the Traitors’ side when chosen.

Let me tell you, for a small team, their detective skills were on point solving the clues of missing Eliza (who was small… much smaller than me)… who, by the way, had just gone on holiday with her Labrador and was completely fine! 😂 This was absolutely not a fictional skit based on anyone I know 😅

Community is such a love of mine. While the Scentwork is important, honestly my favourite part was seeing everyone together today 🧡

I’ve got a busy few days ahead, so I’m going to pop some scheduled posts in. I look forward to catching up with replies when I’m back 😘
