​Scentwork UK promotes and develops scentwork both as a training activity and as a dog sport with regular trials nationally. Scentwork UK trials are based on detection-style nose work practiced daily by customs & excise dogs, bomb explosive dogs, search & rescue dogs and medical detection dogs.

This workshop will be run by myself, Emma Stoker who is a Scentwork UK recognised trainer.

The workshop will introduce you and your dog to Scentwork, including active searches, passive/active indications and introducing your dogs to target scents. There will also be a focus on the level 1 search areas, including vehicle, luggage and boxes, tables and chairs and exterior searches.

Scentwork is great for older dogs, reactive dogs - in fact ‘all’ dogs!!

10am - 3.30pm

£45 for a working spot (FULL)                                  £20 spectators

Heelwork to Music and Freestyle are both great fun for all kinds of dogs, from the tiniest Chihuahua to the biggest Great Dane. Moves are chosen to suit you and your dog, there is no "one size fits all"

The workshop will cover:
Learning and developing tricks, linking moves together into sequences, using props, choosing music and themes, heelwork positions and transitions between them.

Dog-handler teams tend to progress at different rates and in different directions, so the workshop will be tailored to each team, breaking things down and adding extra challenge for those that require that little extra.

Vay is a successful competitor at both Heelwork to Music and Freestyle with her rescue staffy, Bru, while Magic, the newest addition to the family, is getting ready for his debut.

Dog Parkour combines elements of human parkour and dog agility to create an accessible activity for dogs and humans alike. Dogs get introduced to the world of jumping, climbing, balancing over, crawling under, and going around different obstacles in their everyday world. Parkour can be done anywhere and is limited only by your imagination. Dog Parkour helps with confidence and overcoming fears, and it is a low impact but challenging activity for any canine athlete.’ (International Dog Parkour Association)

This workshop will be run by Emma Stoker, who is an accredited International Dog Parkour Instructor herself and holds IDPKA titles with her Spaniel Pippin.

This workshop will build on our introduction to dog Parkour, teaching all of the required behaviours for the intermediate title. You will have the opportunity to use a variety of equipment plus our purpose built dog parkour climbing frame! ​
