Let the Scentventure begin!

This year The North East Dog Festival are pleased to announce a partnership with the brilliantly talented Katie Guastapaglia, Founder of Dogwood Adventure Play Secure Fields and creator of the Scentventure training platform.

Katie commented; Team Scentventure absolutely loves The North East Dog Festival! We're so fortunate to have a leading UK event right here in our area. We love meeting so many dogs and their families over the weekend, and showing them how quick and simple activities are not only fun, but can reduce pulling on the lead and reactivity, and increase calm confidence and focus. We can't wait to share the Scentventure love with even more people this year!

In the run up to the festival we will be sharing access to online training challenges, videos and articles thanks to the Scentventure platform.

This news has come at the perfect time as the Spring Scavenge & Train April Challenge launches tomorrow.

It’s a jam-packed line-up! and here’s a small peek at some of the things to expect

Easy-to-follow video lessons that break down the dog training techniques so you can easily follow along at home - even if you're brand new to all this!
Tips, tricks and training techniques designed especially for stress free walks with your reactive or easily distracted dog.
Live online training sessions to go deeper into the skills and strategy you need for relaxing, peaceful dog walks.
Daily wellbeing prompts to de-stress, boost relaxation, confidence and resilience
A private Facebook community with access to dog trainers and behaviourists. Don’t worry if you don’t use Facebook - the challenges will be emailed to you.

Rebecca and Dawn, Festival Founders commented; Scentventure is always one of the most popular have a go activities at the festival and Katie and her team bring a wealth of knowledge. Working together this year means we can bring fantastic training opportunities to our festival followers. Dog training is one of our passions alongside helping dogs and their owners; so Katie and her ethos of Scentventure fits very well. We thought it only fitting to share our partnership news this week as it coincides with the launch of the FREE Spring Scavenge and Train Challenge.
