Pawfect Scentwork 1-2-1 Sessions
Unleash your dog’s superpower – their nose!
Did you know your dog sees the world through their nose? Sniffing is your dog’s way of gathering and processing vital information about their environment — and it's one of the best ways to support their physical and mental wellbeing.

These sessions are ideal for reactive, nervous, or easily overwhelmed dogs who thrive in a quieter, more controlled environment.
🧠 Why Scentwork?
Boosts your dog’s mental stimulation
Builds confidence and encourages problem-solving
Promotes calm behaviour and reduces anxiety
Supports dogs with limited exercise (post-op, seniors, crate rest)
Strengthens the bond between you and your dog
Great for all breeds, ages, and abilities — no prior training needed!
🐶 Who is it for?
Scentwork is suitable for:
Reactive or nervous dogs
High-energy or excitable dogs
Puppies and adolescent dogs
Older dogs or those on restricted exercise
Retired working/sports dogs
Any dog that loves to sniff – so… every dog!
