Official UK Sniffer Dog Courses

Here at The Scent and Search Academy we have trained with UK Sniffer Dogs to become qualified and licenced scent work instructors to ensure you get the most out of your experience with us.

At the end of each course, you and your dog will complete a mock search trial as your assessment to receive an official UK Sniffer Dog certificate and rosette.
