What is scent work & why is it the best way to build my dog's confidence?

A dog's nose is their most powerful sense, so powerful that dogs can sniff out cancer, avalanche victims, & low blood sugar. And because their noses are so powerful, sniffing is something dogs are GOOD at. That's what makes scent work games, games that involve your dog sniffing out good things like treats, so effective at building dogs' curiosity & confidence. Success nurtures confidence, & in my 15 years of working with fearful dogs, I haven't found anything better for teaching fearful dogs how to "be a dog."

Does any of this sound familiar?

☑️ Your dog is afraid of everything & spends a lot of time in their "safe space"

☑️ Your dog won't take treats from you consistently

☑️ It seems like it's always 1 step forward, 2 steps back

☑️ You've tried toys & other enrichment activities, but your dog just isn't interested

☑️ Walks, car rides, or even going out the door feel impossible (maybe you’ve stopped trying)

☑️ You dream of adventures together, but you can’t see how to get from here to there

If any of this describes you & your dog, the Scent Work for Fearful Dogs Kickstart is for you.

What if you could...

Build your dog's confidence
Strengthen your bond
Ignite their curiosity, AND
Lay the groundwork for walks, car rides, & the outings you’ve been dreaming of

All using simple games you can play in a single room at home, without putting any pressure on your dog?

Building a fearful dog's confidence & trust doesn't require a complicated training program. In fact, most dogs make the biggest strides by focusing on fun & enrichment first. No stress, no pressure on either of you. And scent work is the easiest confidence-building activity to start with.

Scent work games...

Require no special equipment. You already have everything you need at home.

Are independent. Even dogs afraid of their families, or who won't take treats from them, can play.

Are quick to learn & use. Build your dog's confidence & strengthen your connection in a few minutes per day.

Why start in one room? Because confidence has to begin somewhere your dog already feels safe. Every time your dog finds a treat on their own, they learn ‘I can do this.’ That feeling is what you build on as you start taking these games to new places, & toward the walks & car rides you’re hoping for. You won’t skip steps, & you won’t rush. But you’ll have a first step your dog can actually succeed at.

Hi, I'm Kelly.

Helping fearful dogs gain confidence & live more joyful lives is a topic near & dear to my heart.

I've been working with fearful dogs for over 15 years, & I thought I'd seen it all. But when I brought home my little Pancake, a terrified, anti-social, untouchable dog, I was overwhelmed. When I realized how little good information there was out there to help dogs like Pancake, I decided that supporting dog parents who've chosen to love these special pups was my calling.

Years of love & careful training (& scent work!) later, Pancake is now a happy, cuddly little guy who hikes with his doggy sister every day.

There's no quick fix for fear, but I promise, there is nothing that fills your heart up more than seeing your previously terrified dog start to find joy in life, with your help.

"The simplicity of the games was wonderful & what my dog needed. My former dogs have all been so bold & so food driven that I've had a lot to learn about how to make this little guy feel that he can go after food and eat in my presence. Kelly's patience, clarity and discernment have helped us both make real progress." ~Halo's mom

"George really enjoyed the course & I learned a lot. We now have a new fun activity to play at home which George loves, as well as ideas on how to use sniffing games in the outside world." ~George's mom

My dog Skye is cautious and suspicious in new situations so I loved the way Kelly’s course started with the basics and then added complexity when the dog was ready. She had so many good suggestions for adapting the steps in the course to fit Skye’s temperament.
