Dog Sports
Scentwork, Mantrailing and Hoopers classes
in Barry, Penarth and the Vale
Some of our canine companions are at their best when they are given a job to do - especially if they are from a work orientated breed. Providing dogs with a breed appropriate outlet is great for preventing undesirable behaviours forming, good mental and physical exercise and a perfect bonding opportunity for dog and owner.
​
Other benefits include:
-
builds confidence
-
increases focus and engagement
-
creates optimism
-
FUN!
Classes are held in various locations including Penarth, Wenvoe, Sully, Dinas Powys, Barry and Cardiff. Please see individual class for exact location.

Super Sniffers - Scentwork Course
Super Sniffers is a fun class based around scentwork. You’ll help your dog to learn to identify and find a variety of scents in different scenarios.
Scentwork is a great sport for mental enrichment and can help boost calmness and build confidence, problem solving and independence for your dog. Classes held in Penarth and Barry.
Scentwork Gone Wild - Outdoor Scentwork Class
An outdoors alternative to my Super Sniffers course. Each class takes you to a different location to practice your dog's sniffing skills 'out in the wild'.
This class runs on a pay as you go basis and runs twice a month. All abilities are welcome to attend.

Hoopers
Hoopers is a low impact sport for dogs and their owners. You’ll learn to direct your dog around a course from one position, so it’s accessible for dogs and owners of all abilities.
In particular, if your dog is a large or tiny breed, needs extra space or patience, or as an owner you have limited ability, then this will be a great class for you to have fun together. Hoopers really is for everyone.
I’m a Canine Hoopers UK Accredited Instructor.
