Scent Sessions: An Introduction.

£0.00

Scent detection training doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s more about clarity. This short introductory video welcomes you to Scent Sessions, a series made to give you focused, valuable insights into how dogs really work with scent. Each session, lasting about 20 minutes, simplifies complex topics into clear, practical tips to help you make better decisions, improve training, and achieve better results for both dogs and handlers. Whether you choose to watch just one session or the entire series, the choice is yours.

In this introductory video, Dr Robert Hewings introduces himself and shares the inspiring purpose behind Scent Sessions. These brief, engaging knowledge bursts are thoughtfully created for all scent detection handlers and instructors, no matter their discipline or experience level.

Each session lasts about 20 minutes and is part of a connected series. You can choose to watch individual topics whenever they interest you, or download all the sessions for a more in-depth exploration. The goal is simple yet powerful: to slow down the learning process, eliminate assumptions, and replace them with solid, evidence-based understanding that truly benefits the dog.

Scent Sessions aren’t about quick fixes or strict methods. They’re about expanding your knowledge, fostering critical thinking, and building your confidence in both the science and your dog’s incredible nose. One session at a time.

Scent Sessions are drawn from the teaching on The Scent Detection Programme, our City & Guilds Assured instructor credential. If this way of thinking is how you want to work, the full programme is where it lives — three weeks across the year, eighteen places, one cohort. See the City & Guilds Programmes.
