Maybe you’re now looking to get into Scent Work yourself? Or possibly you want even more scent work info to read up on? Well this is the post for you! This Scent Work Series post will be a bit different and shorter as we share some helpful web resources, products and videos that we have used!

We recommend starting your scent work journey with some research! It is essential to understand what the sport is all about and how to do it! Here are some of our recommended web pages regarding scent work. The AKC website is a great place to start! They have very accurate and helpful information!
