Had a great time with my flatcoated retriever Rwbi doing the introduction to scent work workshop recently.
Mandy and Jemma were lovely and provided a most welcoming and supportive environment for us to learn and have fun.
I am really looking forward to doing more and i know Rwbi is!

Completed the ‘sniff it out’ experience with Mandy and Gemma.
Both were super approachable, experienced, and engaging.
Definitely recommend to those looking for a new bonding exercise/ experience with your dog.

Had a 1-2-1 scentwork assessment with my dog Linkon which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Relaxed environment and Mandy really listened to Link's story and built his assessment around his strenghts and weaknesses. Highly recommended.

We had a great 121 with Mandy this week, clear instruction and guidance along with easy to follow guides for homework, so we can practice. Lots of fun and brain engaging activities, loved our session.

Thank you Mandy, looking forward to our next session.

Mandy ran a Sniff It Out Level 1 session. It was very informative, Mandy adapted the session with ease when she realised my dog was already imprinted on cloves. We covered lots, enjoyed our session and have booked again.
