UK Sniffer Dog Classes in Tamworth
Build confidence, connection and pure joy, one sniff at a time.
Scent work is for every dog, not just working breeds. It’s fun, rewarding and the perfect way to channel your dog’s natural instincts.
Led by Luke, a UK Sniffer Dog Approved Instructor, our classes turn your dog’s superpower, their nose, into the ultimate confidence-building game.

Discover the joy of scent work
training for dogs

Scent work is one of the most natural, enriching activities you can do with your dog.
It taps into their instincts, provides huge mental stimulation, and leaves them happily tired without needing long walks or high-impact exercise.
It’s especially great for:
🐾 Dogs that need confidence building or an outlet for their energy.
🐾 Older dogs, puppies, or those recovering from injury who can’t do much physical exercise.
🐾 Owners looking for something new, positive and genuinely fun to do with their dog.
The best part? Once you’ve learned the basics, you can practise anywhere! In the house, garden, or out on walks. No fancy kit needed.

"I have recently completed a 4 week scentwork foundation class with Dogs Purpose training and it was a fantastic and very enjoyable experience.
Luke and Laura are very knowledgeable and the class is ran at a very relaxed pace with no pressure or rushing the dogs. My puppy was 4 months old and passed her test to find a small item hidden in a car.
I would thoroughly recommend them and I've already signed up for another class in August."

"What a delight Luke and Laura at Dogs Purpose are. Always happy and always polite. They have worked wonders with my dog.
I always do and always will recommend these for those needing some training.
I learn something new every session. The knowledge they bring is amazing and the passion is out of this world.
Training is always enjoyable for the dogs and owners. Thanks for everything, guys."

Life happens! If you miss a class, we’ll send you the week’s exercises so you can practise at home and jump right back in next time.
Does my dog need any experience?
Not at all, the Bronze course is designed for total beginners. You’ll both learn as you go, step by step.
Is scent work for specific breeds?
Nope! Every dog has a nose, and every dog can do this. From staffies to spaniels, shepherds to bulldogs, we’ve seen them all love it.
