What an awesome day spent learning about dog scent work. Max ran it all like a boss and was left with a good understanding of it all. Was able to put my little Dachshund in for some work which was great as it gave me a better understanding of what I should and shouldnโ€™t be doing. Highly recommend taking this lesson if youโ€™re looking at getting into it as she really knows her stuff. Ohh and the coffee and biscuits was also a bonus ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

I highly recommend Wyld Dog's Scent Detection Foundations seminar to anyone looking to build a solid base in scent work. The content was practical and well-structured, covering the key foundations in a way that was easy to understand and apply, regardless of whether you're training fun or trialling. Victoria brought a wealth of experience to the room, and having that knowledge delivered in a hands-on, practical format made all the difference. I came away feeling informed, prepared, and genuinely excited to put the training into practice. Thank you for a wonderful seminar.

I had the pleasure of attending my first dog training workshop over the weekend run by Vic from Wyld Dog, with the help of Courtney from Project Canine and Elly from complete canine dog training. The workshop focused on scent work foundations and as a vet nurse myself i am familiar with the canine nose structure and what it capable of so it was a great for me to learn how to incorporate the training aspect of scent. The workshop was informative, fun and gave me a greater understand of a how to encourage our dogs to use there nose in scentwork for enrichment, sport and overall fun in a way anyone could understand and enjoy. Having 2 Aussie shepherds of my own i'm always interested in finding new ways to enrich them rather than a walk or swim!
