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.
