UK Sniffer Dogs Scent Work Classes

UK Sniffer Dogs was created for pet dogs, making it fun and rewarding putting your dog's natural scent abilities to work; helping to create a calm and focused dog with a great balance of mental and physical exercise. At K9 Klass Dog Training we run Bronze, Silver and Gold level courses at Clanfield Memorial Hall

What is scent detection training?

Scent Detection Training has long been used widely across the world, for working and operational services. Our amazing  dogs have been used to search for drugs, bombs, firearms, cash, contraband, missing people and human remains. Then even more amazing , in recent years dogs are being used for assistance purposes, medical alert  (Diabetes) and medical detection, detecting cancer cells in humans! 


Our classes are designed for ALL dogs, whether they are slightly unsociable, energetic, elderly, young or perhaps a breed you may not associate with scent work.  ALL dogs benefit from scent work! Did you know that just 10 minutes of scent work can be the equivalent of up to an hour long run!

UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze (Beginners) 6 Week Course - £80

Suitable for dogs of any age, breed and activity level, this 6 week foundation course will introduce you to the world of scent work using fun and easy to follow techniques, providing a great source of mental exercise for your dog. 


This course is suitable for dogs new to scent work or those that have some experience of scent work but are new to the target scent of Kong.


Exercises in the courses include building freeze indication on target scent (KONG), completing searches on pots, pipes, and boxes, chairs, bags, vehicles and novel search environments such as exterior walls, fences and random new areas as well as mock trials.

UK Sniffer Dogs Silver 6 Week Course - £80

Moving on from the bronze level, our silver classes introduce two new target scents, gun oil and cat nip as well as new "active searches". Police working dogs can be trained on up to 8 different scents. Cocaine, Cannabis, Cash, Amphetamine, Heroin, Bombs and more. We believe the dog can be trained on many more and this is referred to this as their target scent library. 


Our silver level classes are held at Clanfield Memorial Hall and will cover the introduction of gun oil to our dog's scent target library, working on chair and bag searches, novel environments and vehicle searches, as well as building upon distance, difficulty, duration and distraction of indications.


We will also cover a new type of indication, known as an active search on another new target scent, cat nip. The active search involves teaching the dog a retrieve so that when they find the cat nip toy or key, they retrieve it and return to the handler.  


At the end of the silver course, we will work on preparations for the silver trial, which includes chair and bag searches, novel searches and vehicle searches in addition to our new active search .


Each class is 50 minutes long.


Certificate of attendance given upon course completion.

UK Sniffer Dogs Gold 6 Week Course - £80

We will work on inaccessible hides, improving duration of indications, as well as learning more about how dogs use different techniques to search. 


We will also continue to work on the active cat nip searches we learned in the silver level, but this time expanding it to retrieve different textured items including material, wood and plastic, learning how scent permeates different surfaces.


At the end of the gold course, we will work on preparations for the gold trial, which includes novel, water, person and active searches.

"We have just completed Series 1 of our UK Sniffer Dogs course.  Luca enjoyed it very much and Juanita was a very good instructor,  she explained every thing very clearly and supplied us with the items and a booklet that we needed to do our homework with  in between our classes, also got a lovely goody bag with some treats too.  I would recommend this course and look forward to doing series 2."
