Everyone knows dogs have a fantastic sense of smell, but do you know the true power behind their nose?
What surprises most people isn't what their dog's nose can do (although that is impressive, too) - it's the impact that sniffing has on their dog and their relationship.
Scent-based activities are for any dog, regardless of breed, age or quirks. They give your dog's nose and brain a proper workout and a real sense of purpose.
See what sniffing can do for your dog:
Channel your dog’s inner detection skills and find hidden scents. Held both indoors and out - perfect for all weathers, all breeds, and all abilities.
Follow the scent trail of a human and find items they’ve left behind along the way. Builds focus, confidence and problem-solving skills.
Take scent from a personal item and find the “missing person” - for fun. Similar benefits to tracking, with the thrill of finding a person.
About Talk Bark
📍Rushden, Northants based dog trainer
Dogs' primary sense is smell, and for most of history they used it constantly - hunting, tracking, guarding. Today, dinner is served in a bowl and meaningful sniffing opportunities are few and far between. For a lot of dogs, that gap shows.
That's where I come in.
I specialise in scent-based activities - scentwork, trailing/mantrailing and tracking. It gives your dog the mental stimulation they've been missing, tires them out in ways you can only dream of, and helps build confidence and your bond.
I work with all dogs - including reactive and anxious dogs, and those affected by the so-called Dangerous Dogs Act.
Why train with Talk Bark?
I founded Talk Bark to help dogs and their people understand each other better - through scent-based activities that tap into your dog's natural instincts, build confidence and fulfilment, and give you real insight into how your dog thinks and learns. You'll see the impact far beyond our sessions.
