Are you looking for answers in your scentwork journey? Do you feel like every training session reveals more of your shortcomings as a handler? Are you trying to connect with your dog but have no idea what that should look and feel like?
You are not alone! The more time I spend training, the more I realise that scentwork isn't about the end goal, it's about the process of reaching many small goals. Even though I've worked with thousands of dogs and their people over very many years, I'm still learning. And that's what makes it so interesting. Growing in skills and confidence alongside your dog, or your clients and their dogs, is the fun part of the activity. Yes, finding the target scent is rewarding, but the process that gets you there is far more satisfying.
Training is a lifelong journey of learning and self-discovery, and it's exactly those qualities that makes it so rewarding.
You might be ready to be part of a wonderful scentwork team if you answer YES to any of the questions below:
Do you love working with your dog?
Are you ready to ditch the expectation that you need to have all the answers, and allow yourself to be a curious lifelong learner?
Do you want to take off the pressure of needing to conduct perfect searches now and trust instead that every search is teaching you something?
Is it time to start teaching scentwork and sharing your passion?
You can make better connections with your dog and work together to achieve joint goals. Your dog wants to understand you just as much as you want to understand her. Talking Dogs Scentwork can be that portal to help you develop the relationship you've always wanted.
These memberships are designed especially for you.
I love telling people that I teach scentwork online. It's not because I enjoy the surprise in their faces or that I get to teach students from all over the world without leaving my home, although both those things make me very happy. What really gets me excited about teaching online is the opportunity I have to change lives through my courses.
I know I'm not a therapist. Or someone who can make you rich and famous. But I regularly get feedback like this:
I never thought my dog could be a detector dog. But your training has shown me that all dogs can be detector dogs - even mine!
or
The fear of failure and not being a good enough trainer has held me back. Your well explained lessons and good humoured approach are fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience all the way through to the end to becoming accredited!!
or
I would just like to say how wonderful it is since I discovered Talking Dogs Scentwork. It has enabled me to have the most fantastic relationship with my dog, better than I could have expected.
or
Having an anxious, reactive dog is very difficult. Training classes often left both of us frustrated and disheartened. Then we discovered Talking Dogs Scentwork (TDS) and loved it from day one. I love that everything about TDS is centred around the individual dog and her needs.
Having taught scentwork in workshops, classes, 121 and even at conferences, I've come to know that learning can be easier when you can do it in a space where you feel safe. You feel safe getting things wrong. Your dog feels safe knowing there won't be any interventions from strangers. You feel less pressured as you aren't in front of other students. Your dog can experience off lead joy and excitement as she learns. No embarrassment, no fear, no interruptions to your learning.
Understanding that mistakes will be made, misunderstandings will be had and that unintended consequences don't have to mean your training is derailed are all part of the process. Part of the fun. Remember fun is not a bad word. It's why you enjoy spending time together. It's why I can always find scentworkers laughing as they train. It's supposed to be enjoyable. After all, you're not searching for bombs or drugs or fugitives!
This is why I wanted to make my courses and resources available to you for one low monthly (or annual) price that you can choose depending on your goals.
