Scentventure is an ethos, a movement. A new way for your clients to live alongside their dog which feels both amazing and new.
You simply can’t get the kind of transformation we create with training techniques alone. Significant results require a significantly different approach, plus a little bit of magic.
Here’s what we believe in…
- We believe every dog is unique: One-size-fits-all has no place here. Your clients' training plan will celebrate and support their individuality, supercharging your results.
- We believe in everyday adventure: Your clients may feel at a disadvantage now due to their dogs' behaviour, but once you unlock the secrets of Scentventure for them, they’ll see that their challenging dog uncovers a magic to life that the owners of ‘perfectly behaved dogs’ never find.
- We believe in tackling the root cause: Tap into our decades of combined experience to pinpoint the exact spot that needs attention, saving you time, effort & financial resources so you know exactly which lever to pull!
- We believe in purpose: You and your clients are going to develop a powerful partnership as they discover life BEYOND the problem thanks to you.
- We believe in belonging: We will be there, carrying your goals when you’ve forgotten them, cheering & celebrating with you. You're no longer doing this on your own any more.
On a practical level
Scentventure takes a unique ‘Calm First’ approach to your clients’ dog’s’ behaviour problems with specialist – but simple – techniques to calm the nervous system. Where other trainers will jump ahead and give them loose lead walking exercises, recall drills or ‘socialisation’ advice that patches up the problem in the short term without getting to the root cause, Scentventure focuses on creating a calm dog who can listen and pay attention to you in any situation.
The best part is that when you take our Calm First approach, all your clients’ problems get easier to tackle – not just the main one! This means you can help them get results in say, loose lead walking and reactivity at the same time.
“She’s started a goddamn movement!”

Hi, I’m Katie…
I help pet professionals LOVE solving problems for their clients... but that wasn't always my life.
![](http://scentventure.dog/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/website-graphics-blog-articles-6-1024x691.png)
My own 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 judgement, but I constantly felt guilty. I was sad that he missed out on all the fun, adventure and freedom I saw other people enjoying with their dogs.
I was envious. He deserved that too. It was like I was letting him down.
One day, before work, I went to the farmers’ fields and unclipped his lead. He got the scent of something and ran away. I eventually found him by a fence between the farmers’ fields and a dog rehoming centre. The rehoming centre was Dog Trust… where I worked.
My mind raced with everything that could have gone wrong. He could have attacked a dog, bitten one of my colleagues – I’d lose my job, he could have wandered further out onto the road and got knocked over… and I thought, ‘Maybe I should just take him in there and he can find a better owner than me because I was clearly failing him.’
I listened to the dogs in their kennels howling and crying and realised that wasn’t an option for me… it was my rock bottom moment.
Scentventure was born out of necessity. If I couldn’t give him up, and I couldn’t keep going as things were, I needed to take matters into my own hands.
I discovered a way to help Lao feel so relaxed on walks that he could walk past other dogs calmly and go off lead on the beach, at the park and in the forest.
It’s my 14 years of learning and experimentation to refine this process and see what works (and what doesn’t) that I share inside the Scentventure Framework.
It gave us back our freedom.
The twice daily dread, the excuses and apologies became a thing of the past and best of all, I no longer felt I was failing him because I knew he was happy and fulfilled.
Living with the frustration and embarrassment of being solely responsible for a reactive dog was excruciating at the time.
But I’m so glad it happened.
If it didn’t, I wouldn’t have gathered this unstoppable team of amazing dog owners, trainers and behaviourists.
Now we have an international community of Scentventure Guides enjoying easier, more effective client fulfilment.
The good news is… I’ve done the hard work for you. You just need to trust that nagging feeling inside you that there is more for you, because there IS.
Say yes to the future you and your business deserve, and I’ll walk with you until you get there.
