Teaching scentwork well is not straightforward. From the outside, good training looks simple. But behind that is a trainer making constant decisions. Reading the dog. Supporting the handler. Adjusting the search. Knowing when to step in and when to stay quiet.
That level of awareness doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from understanding what you’re looking at and knowing what to do with it.
You don’t need shortcuts. You need clarity. That’s what these Pro-Track courses are built to give you.
A deeper understanding of:
- how dogs respond to scent
- how handlers influence searches
- how to communicate clearly in the moment
Because the difference between an average session and a really good one is often down to what the trainer sees… and what they do next.
Scentwork has grown quickly. More clients are looking for it and more trainers are starting to offer it. But not all scentwork training is created equal.
If you want to offer something that is structured, thoughtful and genuinely useful to your clients, you need more than a handful of exercises. You need a system you understand. And you don’t have to build that from scratch.
Alongside the courses, you’ll find a growing library of ready-to-use resources. Materials you can use with your own clients, without spending hours creating them yourself. So you can spend more time doing the actual training.
If you’re ready to develop your skills properly, you’re in the right place.
These are the courses that will take you deeper.

Clear explanations take time to build. These are the resources I use in my own training to make things easier for clients to understand and apply. Simple, practical and ready to use in your sessions.

Hi, I'm Pam Mackinnon
I’ve spent over 30 years working with dogs and their handlers, from operational detection work through to supporting pet dog teams and the trainers who work with them.
Teaching other trainers has always been a natural extension of that work. When you share knowledge well, it doesn’t just help one dog and handler, it carries through to all the teams that trainer goes on to support.
That ripple effect matters.
Whether we meet at workshops, conferences or online, I enjoy working with trainers who want to think more deeply about what they’re doing and how they’re doing it.
If you’re ready to develop your skills and refine your training, you’re in the right place.
