Scent Detection Level 1 | 1 year +
Scent Detection Level 1
Tuesdays: May 13th-June 17th, 2025 6:00pm-6:45pm
Price: $315 plus HST
Limited to 4 dogs
Scent detection is one of the fastest growing dog sports. The classes focus on using your dogs’ natural ability to hunt. Teamwork makes this a fun activity for you and your dog. Although there will be multiple teams in the class, only one team searches at a time. Thus, it is well suited for dogs of all breeds, age and personalities. Scent work requires a lot of concentration which is why dogs get tired more easily. Owners will bond with their dog, become more aware of their dogs’ body language and state of mind. Small changes in tail position, body arching and various movements can be signs of a dog that has found a scent. As long as your dog loves to use their nose to sniff and you like to interact with your dog you will both enjoy these classes. While in class, dogs are kept on their non-retractable leash and take turns locating a scent. Level 1 class uses scent of Wintergreen.
Once you have completed the scent detection classes you can choose to continue on to compete in the SDDA (Scent Detection Dog Association) detection trials. Our scent classes are also geared towards helping you prepare for these and follow the recommended SDDA DOTs (Designated Odour Tests).

Owners know their dogs enjoy their walks. Dogs are social creatures that love to explore and meet people and other pups.Exercise is so important for both our fur family and us, so we are hosting Community Dog Walks and including some training.
Our Community Dog Walks allow pet parents and their fur families to experience the energy only felt in a group walk!
We meet at Muttz with Mannerz and then we take a walk for 45 minutes. We may visit some of the local stores for a quick visit. These walks are a time to strengthen your bond with your pup and with other people. It allows us all to ‘get social’ and experience a structured group walk. What is a Group Walk? A group of pet parents walks together in a structured environment. A group walk is good for most dogs as they feed off the energy of the pack (if you’re unsure if your dog is one of them – just ask us!).
Our Community Group Walk is a way to exercise and properly socialize your dog so they are safe and have a fun adventure. Whether your dog is small or large, dogs are always happy to walk, so be sure to join us! Corey will dedicate time during the walk to answer any training questions and help improve your dogs skills.
If you are unable to attend the dog training classes at these times please contact us to discuss alternatives!
