TRUFFLE HUNTING

Truffles are a real delicacy and delicious, costing vast sums of money, with a history as rich and mysterious as the aroma they are renowned for. They are a fascinating underground mushroom living in a symbiotic relationship with trees. Over the years man has found many ways to discover these elusive funghi.  By far the best nose for detection is our faithful friend. A dog will scent when they are ready, show you where they are and most importantly unlike pigs will give them up to you without taking off a finger! 

​

Yes there are truffles to be found in the UK and we can work with you and your dog to have fun and find them.​

WHO CAN HUNT

Not just for spaniels, beagles or hounds. Any dog with a nose can have a go, no matter what size of dog.

​

You don't need to be in peak physical condition yourself as you work at close range with your dog.  Many people find this a great way of working with and keeping their dog stimulated and well exercised.

​

  • Are you and your dog looking for a fun activity to do together?

  • Do you have limited time to stimulate and have fun with your dog?

  • Do you want to get more out of your daily walks?
