What is Trail Hunt?

Trail Hunt is a scent work sport where we teach our dogs to follow an odour trail in the environment to locate the "Trail Pod" at the end of the trail. 

It is the perfect Blend of Tracking and Trailing offering a highly accessible sport to take part in. 

We use Aniseed as the odour and laid an air bourn scent for the dogs to follow. 

Scent work is a great mental and physical work out for your dog, just ten minutes of scent work is the equivalent to an hours walk so if you have an excitable over enthusiastic dog then this will be just what you and your dog need!

The Detection workshop was brilliant, well organised and interesting. Our dog, a young energetic border collie loved the detection tasks. We progressed from scenting on objects to detecting specific scents on people and finally across larger geographic areas. There was lots of encouraging advice about engaging with your dog through play and real care taken to ensure that each dog enjoyed the activities. Our dog can sometimes be anxious around people and we were really supported before and during the course to ensure that he was relaxed and calm enough to complete the tasks. The course was well taught by Jane who is clearly an expert in her field. Emma provided expert support to the day. I would do this course again and highly recommend it.
