NEW! TDS Scentwork Workbook

The course workbook that will streamline your scentwork journey.


Scentwork is fun. That's the point. But if learning how be a scentworker is a drag, that defeats the point. I've made this workbook to help you stay on track, to motivate you to push on and to make it easier to remember what you're learning. Think of it as me sitting on your shoulder, your own personal cheerleader.

I've designed this six course workbook as a companion resource to both the in-person scentwork training provided by Talking Dogs Scentwork® and my online courses in Detector Dog School. You can follow along as you complete each in- person workshop (S1-S5), or each lesson in the 6 core online courses. It all slots together making learning a seamless experience. Prompts, practises and puzzles to motivate, illuminate & consolidate.

103 pages, A4, supplied as a PDF
