Stop the pulling, barking and chaos on walks - without drilling endless training exercises.
Work 1-1 with a specialist Behaviourist to build calm, focused, real-world behaviour using the Scentventure method.
✔ Reactive, anxious or overexcited dogs
✔ Secure, private training environment
✔ Practical skills you can actually use on walks
Right now, walks probably feel like hard work.
You’re managing the lead, scanning the environment, avoiding triggers. Trying to “train”… but nothing works when it matters - i.e. when another dog or distraction appears.
Your dog might:
Pull, lunge or bark at dogs or people
Switch off completely outdoors
Feel impossible to exercise properly
Come home wired instead of calm
So walks get shorter, less interesting. You avoid dogs, and start wondering if this is just how it’s going to be.
It isn’t.
Scentventure fixes the cause of the behaviour - not just the symptoms
Most training focuses on control. Scentventure focuses on state - because when your dog feels calm, they behave calmly.
Through structured scentwork, environmental challenges, and real-world training, we:
Lower arousal levels so your dog can actually learn
Build focus without constant repetition
Replace frantic behaviour with calm engagement
Give you tools that work in real situations
This is how Scentventure gets long term results.

Learn our Calm First, real life method and use it anywhere.
This is for you if your dog
Pulls on the lead
Barks or lunges at dogs or people
Gets overexcited or overwhelmed
Struggles to focus on walks
Can’t be walked where you actually want to go
It’s also ideal if you’ve tried training before and it didn’t work, you want faster progress than group classes and expert, 1-1 support tailored to your dog
No previous training experience necessary. You will learn all the skills you need on the course.
Imagine a walk where
The lead stays loose
Your dog can sniff, explore and settle
You’re not constantly scanning for problems
You actually enjoy being out together
That’s what you’ll build in Scentventure.
Work with a specialist in Reactive and Easily-Distracted dogs
“Hi, I’m Katie.
I created Scentventure because my own dog Lao couldn’t cope with normal walks and traditional training methods just weren’t working.
He still pulled, barked, lunged, reacted to everything. I gave up on dog training and accidentally created Scentventure.
Now I’ve helped thousands of dogs go from stressed and reactive to calm, focused and fulfilled - and I’ve trained a team of Scentventure Guides to do the same.
Justine Watts is a scentwork and behaviour mastermind. She took what I started and improved Scentventure tenfold, making it the programme it is today. ”

Questions?
My dog is reactive, will this work?
Yes. Sessions are 1-1 in a secure environment with no other dogs present. Everything is managed carefully to keep your dog calm and in their optimal learning zone.
What if my dog isn’t reactive?
Dog owners use Scentventure to stop leash pulling, create reliable recall and build focus, calmness, and better everyday behaviour.
What if my dog isn’t ‘good’ at scentwork?
They don’t need to be. We use multiple approaches and find what works for your dog.
