Meet the Team
Lyn Bowers
Co-founder
I’ve been in dog training for over 35 years, and I’ve owned and trained many breeds including Border Collies, Belgian Malinois and GSD’s. I’ve trained dogs for obedience, flyball, agility, rally and scentwork trials and been lucky enough to compete with them. I also work as an instructor for the UK KCGCDS, training dogs in all levels of the award and we were Listed Status Club of the Year in 2020. I am also a qualified Canine Behavioural Consultant although I’m not currently practicing.
My passion is scent detection and I’ve been privileged to work with and handle both explosive detection dogs, screening air cargo for bombs and to train and handle bedbug detection dogs, searching for bedbugs in hotels.
I currently train dogs for sports scentwork in Greater London and Oxfordshire and I’m proud to say my clients are very successful in trials. As well as being a Judge and Trial Manager for Scentwork UK, I’m also an ORT Assessor for the National Nosework Association and a Trial Organiser for Nosework Games.
I have five dogs of my own, a crazy Australian Shepherd Dog, a Labrador, a Working Sheepdog and two Belgian Malinois, all of whom do scentwork. They help me teach by demonstrating in class and on workshops and my Malinois have shown off their skills at Crufts, the UK’s largest dog event. Occasionally, when time permits, we will find the time to take part in trials ourselves.
We will very soon welcome another Belgian Malinois to our family and she will feature regularly on our live content and ongoing support platforms.
