Cloud Nine K9s Scentwork Courses, Workshops and Training Sessions
Welcome to our Scentwork page! Here you will find a list and information on all of our courses, workshops and training sessions. Dogs of all ages, breeds and physical abilities are welcome on each course and we encourage the whole family to join in the fun too!
Reactive dogs are also welcome, with prior notice, as all dogs will be worked on-lead and all will have enough space to work in safely.
Courses are run year round at a field in Brasted, Kent.
Also all courses are also available on a 1-2-1 basis that can be catered around your schedule, please email for more details.
We cater for complete beginners, scentwork enthusiasts and for anyone looking to compete!
-
Scentwork Introduction Workshops - These are up to two hour workshops that give you the basic start to scentwork with your dog. We cover scent pairing, line handling, body language analysis, pipe searches and an environment search. Complete beginners will be starting on the odour of red Kong, those already on Kong but would like to add another scent to their dogs library can do gun oil.
Kits are not included but can be purchased for practice at home. -
Scent training sessions - Once you have completed an introduction workshop you can then attend the ongoing training sessions as and when you can! During these sessions the dogs are worked one at a time so that all dogs can join in (reactive, nervous, excitable) as this allows them to focus on the task at hand and for owners to observe and learn from other too! We train at the main venue (Little Warden in Brasted, Kent) but we also go out to public venues too such as parks, industrial and urban areas so dogs learn to search in multiple environments,
-
Special events - Throughout the year I run several types of special events. From day sessions to build on certain skill-sets, unique training settings such as the amazing steam train venue! or seasonal events such as the Easter escape room with your dog, Halloween crime scenes or Christmas specials! Once you start your scent journey the fun is endless!!
NOSEWORK GAMES!!
These super fun competitions consist of 3 different types of games for owners to win rosettes, prizes and move up through the different levels. #nostressjustfun
