What is Scentwork
Scent Work, based on the task of working detection dogs, is a positive, challenging activity that allows dogs to use their strongest natural sense in a way that is fun and engaging. Because it is an exercise that requires the dog to locate an odour and communicate this to the handler, it also establishes a building of trust between dog and handler.
Working as a team, while negotiating through a variety of environments*, dogs are trained to indicate the location a specific odour by pawing, pointing or assuming a specific body position. While searching, the dog does all the active work while the handler offers only guidance and encouragement. Communication and praise of the dog during the search are greatly encouraged. When, however, the dog indicates where it believes the odour is located, the handler informs and seeks corroboration from the judge.
