We believe that every dog in the world can benefit from learning to engage with owner via scent work. We can train even the most novice trainer not only handle their dog, not only learn to read dogs but also learn to train dogs via a daily dose of scent work.

Obviously to suggest that we are ‘teaching your dog to use olfaction’ is a ludicrous idea when you think about it. What we will do on this course though is teach a communication system whereby you and your dog can work together to use this incredible ability to detect target odours.

Ofcourse, whilst this is our scent work course, as with every SoCS Online course, we aren’t just teaching you to train scent work. We are infact meticulously developing your ability to read and understand dogs as well as carefully holding your hand through a journey devised to enhance your skills in precision training, controlling intrinsically motivated behaviour and emphasising specifically elements of your dogs thinking. Scent work is our vehicle but this is a course about dog training.

Over the course of six busy months you will gain access to a Skill Up and a Geek Out weekly.

The Geek Outs will help you understand the way your dog responds to the world of scent on every level.

The Skill Ups will then apply your new knowledge of your dogs innermost workings and apply it to training principles to help you learn to emphasise, prevent, inhibit and control different parts of your dogs main and most prolific sense.

The result? An engaged dog who can identify, search, detect and indicate multiple odours with incredible accuracy, efficiently, on your cue.

After each weekly Skill Up and Geek Out has been sent out on the Monday, participants will have access to a previously recorded Facebook Live chat. When we first released the course we worked through every step with the first cohort to join the course. We used this opportunity to find out the most common obstacles and talk them through through as well as get the group to ask questions about the exercises which they will then complete. It’s here, in the section entitled ‘social support’ where you’re likely to find the problems your facing discussed in more detail. That said, if you have any questions – throw them up on the group and one of the instructors or founders of the course will get back to you.

Feel free to tag Nando, Jo and Dean in videos of your training. Whether you want to show off nearly learnt skills or you’ve hit a brick wall – we are happy to help. If you search #feedbackbackfriday you’ll find literally thousands of others who have done the same. We believe you gain a lot of knowledge through watching others work and receive feedback so do take some time to go through others work and the feedback they received via that hashtag.
