An opportunity arose for me to go to Cyprus and spend time with (SPDC) Saving Pound Dogs Cyprus, 2nd Chance Dog Rescue, Simba Animal Aid - Cyprus, and Ammochostos Dog rescuers. Many dogs were either strays, abandoned, mistreated physically and or malnourished. Volunteers and other Aid workers had support from different trainers supporting them with positive re-enforcement training taking into account the personalities and welfare of each individual pup or dog.
Scent detection is fun and rewarding. It is mentally stimulating, engaging your dog's sense of smell. Preventing boredom giving them a job to do. Scent work will strengthen the bond between handler and dog. Allows the dog to problem solve, It also is used for medical purposes, rescue, detection of illegal substances. Scent work develops confidence especially for nervous or rescue dogs. Allowing unwanted behaviours to diminish such as reactivity.
