Scurry Dog

Gundog games for every dog, whatever they are
Retrieves, hunting, scent trails and directions. Fast, noisy, and the best fun your dog will have all week.
Your dog is bored and you have run out of ideas.
The ball has stopped being interesting. The walk is the same walk. You can see they have got more in them than the day is asking for, and there is only so much you can do about that in a park you have both walked round four hundred times.

A bored dog finds their own job. Usually it is the skirting board, the post, the barking at nothing, or the endless pestering that means you never quite get to sit down. And it is a shame, because a dog with something proper to do is a completely different animal to live with.
Scurry takes the games gundogs were bred for and opens them up to every breed.
Your dog hunts, searches, retrieves and learns to work to direction. It is quick, it is loud, and dogs absolutely love it. By the end of an hour they are tired in a way two hours of walking never manages, because they have been using their instinct rather than just their legs.

And your dog does not need to be a gundog. Most of them are not.

What you will do

Retrieves, from straightforward to genuinely challenging, so there is always somewhere for your dog to progress to. Hunting and searching in cover, which is where the real tiredness comes from. Scent trails, so your dog learns to use their nose properly rather than casting about. Directional cues, sending your dog left, right and back, which is the bit owners are always most surprised their dog can do. Everyday games you can take home and keep using, so the class does not stop when the class stops.

Who it suits

Busy dogs who never switch off. Dogs who need a job. Dogs who find other dogs a bit much and do better with something to focus on. And owners who want training that feels like a good time rather than homework.
