CDTA's scentwork dog training class is designed to help you build up your dog's ability to sniff out and target a particular scent and give you a clear indication on it. During our class, we want to give you the tools to teach your dog to find a scent in different contexts and distractions. The part of a dog's brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is about 40 times greater than ours and humans have been harnessing this super power for millenias and it is many breeds' primary work purpose. Many dogs love to find purpose in scentwork and it's a low impact activity. Work's your dog's brain instead of their brawn! All ages and abilities are welcome! Whether it's your first time doing scentwork or if your dog is a searching machine. We strive to create a positive, inclusive and respectful atmosphere for everyone in our classes. We are LGBTQ+ friendly. Children are welcome to join if they are accompanied by at least 1 adult. This is a 2 hour workshop where you will learn the basics of Scentwork.

Muzzles are a great management tool because dogs have pointy teeth and bite-force that can cause injury to others. It is our responsibility as dog owners to prioritise safety for everyone and muzzles are a great management tool. Muzzle training using positive emotions can mean happiness, comfort and freedom to your dog. Dogs might wear muzzles because: - They cannot understand that eating rubbish, poop or half a tennis ball can cause expensive surgery or life-threatening illnesses - Local laws require dogs to be muzzled when engaging in public - The dog is a bite risk or ‘mouthy’ - Poor bite inhibition, especially when playing with friends - Useful as a visual marker to signify that your dog needs some space - Use during grooming or medical procedures The most important part of muzzling your dog is to desensitise them to wearing it. Basket muzzles are the safest type. When fitted properly, baskets will allow your dog to pant, drink water and take treats, but not bite. A muzzled dog is a safe dog. This class will have a maximum of 6 dogs per class and will benefit from having 2 instructors on hand to help you gain confidence and ability with a lot of opportunities for 1to1 feedback. This class can be suitable for reactive dogs depending on their level of arousal around other dogs so please get in touch with us at info@cardiffdogtrainingacademy.co.uk if you are not sure if your spicy dog can handle the class. If you don't think your dog is ready for a class but you want muzzle training, get in touch with us info@cardiffdogtrainingacademy.co.uk and we can arrange a private tutoring session for you and your dog. 2 hour workshop Earn 2 credit towards your Dogtorate
