It works! What they said in previous years. . .

‘’This course has been an eye opener in what I got so wrong and how much I have made things unnecessarily difficult for both Sam and myself by using the wrong trainer.

Thank you so much for this week. It’s made a huge difference to both of us. You have no idea how close I was to returning Sam to the rescue as we were both so miserable and stressed out. This week has shown me that I’m not the wrong owner, I was just using the wrong toolkit. Thank you so much.’’
— Francis Stewart
‘’We adopted Seth nearly 3 years ago now and what a three years it’s been. If only we had found Scentventure 3 years ago, life today may well of been so much different. We have made the most progress since joining a couple of months ago than we have in 3 years.’’
— Margaret Sinclair
‘’I just want to say how much I have enjoyed this week and I have learnt so much about my dog. I have spoken to several trainers who just “train” and don’t appear to look at the deeper reasons for their behaviour which is why I love your training so much more than others.’’
— Catherine
‘’It feels amazing to have some structure to our training and not feel overwhelmed all the time. It’s such a minefield finding the right help. A huge thank you to you all’’
— Julia Brice
‘’Is the word ‘owner’ silent in the phrase ‘dog training’? I Feel like my boys are rolling their eyes and thinking ‘finally the dog (owner) training is starting to pay off!!!’ The boys are so quick and eager to show me that they can be happy and relaxed once I’ve been taught properly how to help them achieve this. Thank you for making this possible.’’
— Jody Brown

Do you dread walking your dog because their behaviour is so stressful? You’re not alone!

Too many dog owners put up with their dog straining on the lead, lunging, manic barking, infuriating recall, and resign themselves to a lifetime of stress, frustration and embarrassment.

That’s why we created the Stress Free Dog Walks January Challenge. You’ll learn a simple new technique every day to calm your reactive or easily distracted dog.

THIS TRAINING GIVES YOU:

🐕 The fastest & easiest ways to get your dog’s attention fast - use these every time your dog pulls, barks or lunges.

🐕 A simple trick to calm your dog before stepping foot out the door (because calm stress free walks start at home!)

🐕 What’s really causing your dog to pull, bark and lunge - and the counterintuitive way to avoid it.

🐕 3 very specific techniques to use on walks that prevent excited or reactive meltdowns before they happen. 

🐕 5 PROVEN techniques that make it easy to succeed regardless of your level of experience.

🐕 A clear plan for how to use the techniques beyond the challenge for a lifetime of calm canine behaviour.

 

Take back your freedom and LOVE walking your dog again.

‘’I saw a post in our walking group about the 7 days challenge. I thought we have nothing to lose, let’s give it a try! We had to do something so that we could all start enjoying our walks again. I am so pleased we did! He has stopped pulling, if he’s on the long line he keeps coming back and checking in, he’s like a different dog!’’
— Jennifer Earle & Buddy

training especially designed for dogs who are…

🐕 Reactive to other dogs or people - they bark or lunge and it’s stressful and embarrassing. It seems like everyone is judging you, and other dog owners look at you like YOU’RE the one barking!

🐕 TOO friendly! They want to say hello to everyone and everything but it looks like you have no control.

🐕 Pulling so much it’s like walking a steam train not a dog! It’s painful, exhausting and so far from the relaxing walks you pictured! 

🐕 Anxious or nervous - you feel so sad that your dog doesn’t enjoy life to the full like other dogs.

Join the movement

Back for the 4th year running!

This challenge has given thousands of dog owners the tools to enjoy stress free dog walks. Some people love the quick wins that make their life easier straightaway, or the toolkit of techniques that just gets more and more effective. For others it’s the lightbulb moments - all of a sudden they understand how their dog’s mind works and so they know how to keep them calm, focused and relaxed at all times. 

Many people join our challenge when they’re ready to give up on their dog. They’ve spent a fortune on trainers and behaviourists or wasted hundreds of hours researching ‘solutions’ that didn’t work

Most people stumble across the challenge by accident and it ends up transforming their lives. Are you ready to join them?

‘’I couldn’t imagine where we would be without Katie, the fantastic Scentventure Guides and the most supportive community on the planet! We’re so excited to do another 7 Days Challenge to start the year off right! I can’t wait to see you and all of your dogs achieving goals together and having fun!’’
— Rachel & Riggs
‘’We discovered Scentventure this time last year and have been total converts ever since - we are joining in with the 7 Days challenges to get us in the zone again after the holidays (plus we’re addicted to collecting Scentventure badges so can’t resist the chance for a new one). Can’t wait to meet all the new members! You’re going to love this week!’’
— Jenny & Stan
‘’I just wanted to say the sincerest of thank yous for all your help this week. I have had a 1-2-1 trainer from July and you have helped me in these 7 days more than he has in the past 6 months.’’
— Beth & Buddy


We begin 5th January. Register your free place now.

Make January a fresh start for you and your dog.

There’s no better time than January to sort out your dog’s behaviour. Tackle the pulling on the lead, barking, recall and reactivity NOW so you can enjoy nicer walks and adventures in Spring. 

Forget New Years resolutions though - 80% fail by February anyway! Instead, commit to 5 days of action for a lifetime of calm canine behaviour.

This is what we call an "EMERGENCY" challenge because we’re seeing SO many people struggling at the moment - with the cost of living crisis, their dog’s behaviour getting worse in winter, the XL Bully Ban and people just feeling completely overwhelmed and frazzled.

This is not a time to sit on your hands and get left behind. There will be people who transform their dog’s behaviour this January. 

Take the first step towards being one of them.

If not January, when?

‘‘Hi, I’m Katie.

I help the families of reactive and easily distracted dogs LOVE walking their dogs again.

My own reactive rescue dog Lao used to pull, bark, bite and lunge! Not only did I dread taking him for a walk because it was so stressful and I was at the mercy of other people’s judgment, but I constantly felt guilty. It was tragic that he had to miss out on all the fun, adventure and freedom that I saw other people enjoying with their dogs.

I was envious. He deserved that too. I felt I'd tried everything - and nothing was working. It was like I was letting him down, failing him.

Scentventure gave me back my freedom. Since Lao I've helped hundreds of stressed and reactive or bored and distracted dog owners enjoy stress free walks.

Nothing makes me happier than when dog owners start looking forward to walks again. These were people who had wasted time and money on dog training ‘solutions’ that didn’t work, and they doubted whether their dogs would ever be able to change.

Now I can't wait to help you and your dog too. Join me on this FREE challenge to put an end to the misery of stressful dog walks and finally have the tools you need to make your dog calm down, listen to you and behave. I’ve designed a clear 5 day plan that includes techniques for loose lead walking, recall and helping reactive and easily distracted dogs ignore other dogs and people.

If you’re ready to change your dog’s behaviour so you can enjoy relaxing walks and boost your own confidence, register now!’’
