Private Scentwork Training in Bristol and Bath

Learn the magic of scent training and transform your dog into a scent detective!

Scent training is a wonderful activity to get involved with! It’s not only fun for both you and your dog, but it also has multiple benefits. From helping dogs feel calmer and more relaxed to increasing their confidence and positive attitude, scentwork is a great way to keep your dog mentally stimulated whilst having a great time together.

Scentwork is also a low-impact activity, meaning all dogs can join in. Whether you have a young puppy, an excitable teenage dog, or an older dog recovering from surgery, scentwork can enrich their life, allowing you to harness their natural scenting abilities and develop a strong relationship with them. 

I offer one-to-one scentwork training in Bristol and Bath, and online.

Why might one-to-one training be best for your dog?

  • Does your dog prefer to have some space from other people and dogs?
  • Do you prefer to train in the comfort of your home or in quieter outdoor environments?
  • Do you like flexibility and being able to choose your own training times?
  • Do you want to work on a specific aspect of your training with your dog?
  • Or maybe you love the idea of getting all my undivided attention for the whole session?

Then my private scentwork courses are for you!

What are the benefits of scentwork training?

Mental Stimulation

Scentwork gives your dog a job to do so that they don’t go self-employed.

Physical Workout

Did you know that 10 minutes of sniffing is more tiring than an hour’s run?

Creates Happy Dogs

Scientifically proven, sniffing releases happy endorphins.

Reduces Stress

Mindfulness for dogs! It gives nervous and anxious dogs something positive to focus on.

Don't Just Take My Word For It!

Really fantastic

We just finished a one-on-one scent training course with Giulia which was really fantastic. We have an overly excited pup so wanted to teach him a new skill to burn some excess energy and the scent course with My Kinda Dog was really great for that. Giulia was great, from the get go we found the training to be really enjoyable and easy to follow, with a perfect mix of theory and practical activities. Detailed follow-up notes after each session were provided and ongoing support outside of the sessions was also offered. Our puppy seemed to love the course (and Giulia - who is very calm, friendly and knowledgeable!), and it was really satisfying seeing him develop a new fun and useful sniffing/scent skill in such a short period of time. We would highly recommend Giulia/My Kinda Dog for any area of dog training. :)​

Thorougly enjoyed the sessions

I've just completed a 4-lesson beginners' sniffer dog class with Giulia. Both I and my 12-year-old Vizsla thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and "homework" exercises. It's good to do something different with your dog and make them think and try out new things, whatever their age. Giulia was very knowledgeable and good at thinking on her feet to make the activities as fun, positive and productive as possible. I'm going to work on the exercises and then hopefully book some more sessions in the future to build on what we learned in the bronze class.
