​​
We also offer a series of fun workshops, aimed at developing specific skills including; scented retrieve, people screening, water searching, truffle hunting and more.
​
Our themed scent work trials will put your skills to the test against the clock. A great way to test your team work and make new friends along the way!
These sessions will focus on skills such as; scent discrimination, indications, night trailing, the art of the trail layer, to name a few. Learn the skills as a team and then incorporate them into your trails.
Think of your skill up sessions as training FOR the situation rather than training directly IN the situation. Just like all dog training, learning and proofing the foundations are key to success.

Skill up sessions can be booked directly on the All Wagged Out and Cheeky Wee Rascals websites.
