Scent Training for Every Dog
Dr Rob Hewings
Scent training, for so long the preserve of the specialist, is now one of the fastest-growing canine sports, enriching the lives of the dogs who take part. Scentwork taps into a dog’s natural behaviour; it rehabilitates rescue dogs, gives misunderstood dogs an outlet for their energy, and allows companion dogs to find a focus and spend qulity time with their owners.
Author Rob Hewings, a former police dog handler and instructor who now runs the internationally renowned College of Scent Dogs, shares his unique methodology, which is based on 100 per cent positive reinforcement. He starts at the very beginning – teaching a dog to identify a target scent – and progresses to harnessing the skills required for a full-scale search.

“This book is by far the most complete, clear, logical scentwork training book I have read. Written by somebody that has worked at the sharp end and so has experience in all things nose related! Worth every penny. Enjoy!” Philly
“This is the sort of book you read when you want to shake the author’s hand and buy them a drink.” Tomsk
“An excellent introductory guide to scent work training. Clearly the best results are achieved under the guidance of a good trainer, but this book explains the essentials and assists the would-be handler to make a start on their own or to practise their technique at home.” Philippa
