Discover what your dog’s nose knows!

With trailing & scentwork in Shrewsbury

Helping owners connect with their dogs through the world of scent.

Canine Nose Skills offers in person training classes for pet dogs and their owners.

While we love all things dog, what really makes us tick is scent work, nose work, scent detection, tracking, trailing, basically the fun stuff to get our dogs noses working.

Our classes and workshops are set up a little different to most training classes so we can cater for dogs who often need a little extra space or a little less distraction.

We focus on mantrailing, tracking and scentwork. You may wish to do one of them or all of them, either way your dog will love you for it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the introduction to scent work with my rescue Rottie, Narla. As I have recently adopted Narla, I was unsure how she would be around other dogs. Dee very kindly met me a few days before the workshop to have a walk with her dogs. How cool is that?!

The course itself was really informative and I can't wait to put all I've learned into practice at home. Looking forward to Part 2 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took the scent detection course with Dee and Taffy our cocker spaniel loved it! Dee was very patient and clear in the instructions. We learned lots of different ways to work with Taffy and tips on how to get the best out of the course.

We would definitely recommend and we hope to continue with Taffy’s progress.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enrolled Amber on the beginners scent training course at DCC. I was a bit apprehensive as it was completely new to me. Dee made it fun for the class and gave us all great encouragement. I quickly realised it’s the handler who needs to be trained to show the dog what they need to do. Both me and Amber really enjoyed it and we still practice hiding things for her to find. It’s great enrichment for the dog as they really have to use their brain and nose to find the hidden treasures. Great job Dee.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time trying mantrailing with Dees Dogz and myself and my dog Bow had a brilliant time. The session was very informative but nice and relaxed and brilliant fun! I thought my dog might struggle concentrating and picking up the game but Dee kept the trails nice and short with lots of reward which kept her interest and helped her learn quickly! Couldn't recommend Dees Dogz enough for anyone wanting to do something fun with their dog, she really caters for everyone.

Would highly recommend
