DREAMS Dog Club is run by Clare Parker from 4 Active Paws and Sooz Foster from Sooz Foster Dog Training.Our vision has always been to create a warm, welcoming community for dog lovers who want to enjoy quality time with their dogs and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Dogs enrich our lives in countless ways. Offering companionship, boosting our wellbeing, and filling our days with joy.
At the heart of what we do is scentwork - an activity that most dogs adore and one that’s open to every breed, age, and ability. Whether you’re brand new to training or have years of experience, you’ll find a friendly group, shared laughter, and plenty of support. We’re always excited to welcome new members who share our love of dogs and the fun of learning together.
Scentwork is one of the most natural and rewarding activities you can enjoy with your dog. Every dog has an incredible nose, and this workshop is designed to help you unlock its full potential. Whether you’re completely new to scentwork or want to revisit the all-important foundations, this is the perfect place to start.
Over 3 hours, we’ll cover the core building blocks of scentwork:
Motivation – building excitement and drive to search using food or toys.
Independence – teaching your dog to problem-solve without constant direction.
Persistence & Duration – helping them keep searching even when the answer isn’t obvious.
Systematic Searching – introducing patterns so your dog learns to cover an area thoroughly.
Indication & Communication – learning how your dog tells you they’ve found something, and how to reward at source.
Handler Skills – timing, observation, and handling the lead so you can truly work as a team.
This workshop is suitable for all breeds and ages. You’ll work one at a time, ensuring every dog has the space and support they need. By the end, you’ll understand how to set up fun searches at home, how to read your dog’s body language, and most importantly - how to make scentwork a game your dog will love for life. Half way through we will have a break and enjoy tea, coffee and cake together.
