Scentwork: Step By Step: A practical workbook to set you off on a scentsational journey Paperback – March 7, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Are you concerned that your dog is getting bored?
Have you been looking for different things to do with your dog?
How would you feel if your dog could settle even if they hadn’t been out for a walk?
Would you like to build an even stronger bond with your dog?
Scentwork could be the answer that you are looking for! It’s an interactive activity that will enhance your relationship with your dog, whilst also helping them to harness their natural scenting abilities. It’s a great game that can be played anywhere and everywhere that you go with your dog.
I’ve been training scentwork since 2017, as I needed to find a new activity for a dog that had to retire early from agility. I progressed to becoming a judge and trial manager for Scentwork UK, as well as running Nosework Games events. I’ve continued to expand my understanding and skills, and have been passing this learning on to others.
Following the steps laid out in this book will set you on a journey of a lifetime with your dog. You’ll learn how to teach them to search on cue (and when to stop), as well as teach them a ‘target odour’ to search for. You’ll start to look at the world in a different way, as you see objects and places that would be great for searching. The exercises are simple enough that anybody can follow them, meaning you don’t need any previous training experience to benefit from them. Even if you already have some experience, you will be inspired to get back to basics and have fun with your dog. This training is suitable for all ages, breeds and abilities. I’ve kept it simple, so that nobody will get overwhelmed with trying to understand complicated terms and processes.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a copy, and get ready to change your dog’s life!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024My dog finds whatever I tell her to sniff out. She enjoys the search.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024I am just starting with my hounds. One of them is catching on really quick. The other is a little slow. I have enjoyed playing with them.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024This is a short book that covers the basics without a lot of fluff. I like it. It can help you get started with exercises very quickly that are fun for you and your dog. My Springer LOVES scent games and this book has helped us "up" her game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Book!
I've read SO many dog books (30+ - it's part of my dog training job) and this one is going immediately into my top ten.
Easy to follow, accessible, clear, knowledgeable and full of helpful info. You will genuinely be doing real scentwork with your dog by the time you're about 3 chapters in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and very effective!
I really liked this book... It's not the first scent detection book I've read but it's by far the easiest to read and understand. The author has a great writing style that's informative, practical and concise (and witty in parts!!). There are detailed chapters on indication, searching and combining the two. I like how the book flows in terms of the training steps as well as the equipment needed to begin. I'm at the start of my scent work journey with my dog but there's no doubt that this book will be kept very close to hand and continually referred to along the way. Thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to scentwork.
An excellent book providing simple instructions on how to train your dog to complete scentwork.
It is based on the activities that would have to be completed if you want your dog to compete. However, due to my dog's fear issues we are using it as additional mental stimulation to help entertain him and build his confidence. We are thoroughly enjoying the training.
Although you need equipment the author makes great use of recycling so once you have purchased the book and of course treats there is very little outlay!

5.0 out of 5 stars Content excellent, book quality so so.
I have really enjoyed working through this book. The information it offers is great, and really that is all you need from a book.
If there is any criticism it is for the quality of the paper and cover. If I want to keep this on hand when training I will have to go back 40+ years and make a cover for this book. But don't let this put you off, the content is worth a few minutes with sticky back plastic and brown paper, it might even be fun 🤣
