Turn Teenage Chaos into Sniffing Success with Scentwork
Scentwork for adolescent dogs and the humans trying to keep up with them.
Stop me if this doesn’t sound familiar.
Your dog has entered their teenage era spanning 6 months old to 3 years old.
You feel stuck in the exhausting loop of naughty behavior. The barking. The biting. The selective hearing. The sudden obsession with EVERYTHING.
Enrichment? Sure. Your dog has figured out the ‘puzzle toy’ games without breaking a sweat, never mind slowing them down at all.
Speaking of slowing down, your dog doesn’t. At all. In any situation. Taking a group class ends with you feeling frustrated and managing more than learning.
You’re running out of options. You’re running out of activities. And you’re running out of motivation to keep going.
Your Teenager is full of energy, opinions and questionable decisions. Give them a job that you both can agree on: Scentwork
Wondering where your sweet puppy went? Welcome to Adolescence.
We know how frustrating and overwhelming the Teenage Phase can be. That’s why we created this made-for-you Scentwork Program. We strive to give your dog a fun job that works their brain and teaches life skills, while at the same time makes life easier and more manageable for you.
No training foundations needed.
No conflict.
No equipment heavy training plans.
A program tailored specifically for you and your dog.
No huge time commitment for practice.
More layers to work through than a simple puzzle toy.
Lifelong results.
Make the teenage stage manageable again.
Our Scentwork Program is designed to get you from frustration to fulfillment so you can enjoy your life with your dog.
Scentwork gives you structured engagement that can be used throughout their whole life. Put their nose to work, and watch how fast good choices and thoughtful behavior will follow.
Are you:
…in love with your dog, but not loving their behavior or choices right now…especially when they are tying you in knots with their energy?
…getting frustrated with Obedience drills, and struggling to keep a positive connection as you work through behavior training?
…realizing you don’t need a perfect dog, but you DO need one that can stop moving for more than 5 seconds so you can get work done-or at least drink your coffee!
…working around a busy, constantly changing schedule and can’t go to the same class time every week?
…experiencing a dog that’s a tornado of teeth and fur: they do everything really fast, loud, and impatiently. Waiting for anything is not in their dictionary, let alone their vocabulary.
…short on time to run them for miles and miles to get them tired?
…low on the space or ability for the complicated set ups or the big equipment commitments that a lot of other games/sports seem to have?
From Frustration to Fulfillment
“Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Why is everything so hard all of a sudden?”
Sound familiar? Yes, it is normal. And no, you are not alone. The teenage phase of life is hard. But it doesn’t need to be if you put to work their biggest tool: their nose.
By weaving skills into Scentwork that come in handy in daily life, your dog learns how to navigate more thoughtfully and you feel like you are making progress towards your goals.
Scentwork is about teamwork, trust, and thoughtfulness-traits that transfer into every corner of your lives together.
A calm mind leads to a calm body, for both you and your dog.
Enjoy time together that feels more relaxed, successful and connected to your dog.
This gives your dog more fulfillment than simple kongs or puzzle toys. It simulates natural canine behavior, which results in true rest and calm afterwards (and it lasts longer than 5 minutes).
You get to be the bringer of fun while still teaching them lifelong good behavior.
Less frustration. More Focus. More fun.
