UK Sniffer Dogs v Scentwork UK

[lizziebell]

Can anyone shed any light on the difference between the two main scent based training methods of UK Sniffer Dogs and Scentwork UK, particularly looking at the target odours for UK Sniffer Dogs. Struggling to find the information through googling !!

Pre-covid I did two years Scentwork UK (non-competitive as didn’t have time for competing). The Scentwork UK trainer has since moved and there is no other local Scentwork UK trainer (I still do random scent searches at home), however, I’ve stumbled upon a local trainer for UK Sniffer Dogs and wandered how different or similar the training methods are, and whether my dog (and I) would adopt.

Just bumping this post, I was googling this exact question and wondered if the OP ever found an answer or if anyone does know?

No never did find the answer, and never tried the local UK Sniffer Dog trainer as her training dates didn’t work with me. I just Scentwork train at home once a week to keep me and my dogs hand in a bit.
