About Us

Hi, I’m Jenny, I discovered Scentwork UK and the Dog Sport of Scent Training a number of years back and went along to a workshop with my Chocolate Labrador Jethro, who quickly got the reputation as being a bit of a thug.

 

With the help of my patient trainers and Jethro discovering that all things scent was his “Thing”, he found a purpose in life. He calmed down, learnt self control and couldn’t wait for the next search. We began doing Scentwork UK Trials and started to progress through the levels. Mike, my working Cocker Spaniel joined me in 2019 at 8 weeks old to complete my Scentwork Family.

My Scentwork training continued under Instructors from The College Of Scent Dogs who have, combined, over 60 years Industry proven experience and a Doctorate enabling me to gain a City & Guilds Detection Dog Handler and the City & Guilds Instructor Qualification.

I am now proud to say that I now also teach for The College Of Scent Dogs.

​At Selby Sniffers, we can train you for fun, for Scentwork Trials and The College of Scent Dogs Assessments.

“I have to say you've ticked every box you set out with and then some. A sign of a good trainer is to ask questions. A sign of an amazing trainer is to say I don't know but we'll work it out. We’re so lucky to have you and selfishly I'm so glad you decided to set up Selby Sniffers”
