THE
SCENT PATH.
A precise progression framework for pet dogs. We develop confident scent teams through clear indication behaviours and formal competency assessment.
Scent Registry Levels
Foundation
"Focus on engagement and search drive. Indication behaviour creation using container searches and Red Kong as drive-building odour."
Level 1
"Primary Odour: Clove. Multiple and elevated hides introduced with blank searches in controlled indoor/outdoor environments."
Level 2
"Secondary Odours: Gun Oil or Catnip. Complex search areas with environmental distractions and increased duration."
Level 3
"High-distraction environments with multiple blank areas. Handler neutrality and professional search execution."
Masterclass
"Entry: Level 3 Cert. Proprietary CS-1 electronic odour locatess in high environmental complexity double-blind scenarios."
Competency Scoring.
All levels require formal testing across learning outcomes and observable competency checklists. Assessment is double-blind where possible.
