A new themed experience every month.
Dogwarts. Woof Cup. Space Camp. Canine Castaway.
The list keeps growing — all designed to keep your dog interested, engaged and excited to see what comes next.
The Scent Garden is where every month brings something new for the dogs to discover.
It’s an optional experience you can add to your dog’s daycare day, with a completely new theme every month.
We use different scents, textures, props, puzzles and activities to create an experience that keeps changing.
Some dogs dive straight in. Others take their time.
There’s no right way to enjoy it. The important thing is that every dog gets the chance to explore, investigate and use their brain.

Step inside this month’s Scent Garden experience, where scent work, problem-solving and confidence-building enrichment are transformed into a magical adventure designed entirely around the dogs.
Watch our dogs step inside Dogwarts, follow their noses through magical scent challenges and discover which Dogwarts house they belong to.
The adventure starts before they even arrive. Every dog joining us at Dogwarts receives their own personalised admission ticket, complete with their name, their Dogwarts date and, of course, their starring role.
It’s one of the little details that makes the Scent Garden different. We don’t just create an activity for the dogs — we build an experience around them.
One dog. One ticket. One very special day at Dogwarts.
This is where the Scent Garden really comes to life.
Every month, we create a completely new themed experience for the dogs.
One month they could be exploring Space Camp. The next they might be taking part in the Woof Cup, heading off to Dogwarts, or trying to survive Canine Castaway.
New smells. New props. New challenges. New things to discover.
The theme changes every month, so there’s always something different to challenge them.
Something different for your dog every month.
This is where the themes come to life — your dog exploring, sniffing, searching and working things out for themselves.
Scent work gives your dog something physical play alone can’t.
It gets their brain working, gives them something to focus on and lets them use one of their strongest natural instincts.
Sniffing, searching and working things out gives your dog’s brain a proper workout.
Exploring new smells, objects and environments at their own pace can help your dog become more comfortable with new experiences.
Scent work gives your dog something specific to concentrate on instead of simply charging from one activity to the next.
Dogs are built to use their noses. Giving them time to sniff and investigate lets them do something that comes completely naturally.
Physical exercise matters, but so does mental stimulation. The Scent Garden gives your dog another way to enjoy their day, use their brain and experience something genuinely different.
Different dogs get different things from the Scent Garden, so we adapt how we use it to the dog in front of us.
The Scent Garden can be added to your dog’s normal day at Tails of The Lake when you want to give them something extra.
They’ll still get their usual play, socialisation, exercise and rest.
The Scent Garden adds another layer to their day — something different to explore, something to think about and a new challenge to enjoy.
That’s the standard we’re aiming for every time they spend the day with us.
No two dogs experience the Scent Garden in exactly the same way.
Some jump straight in. Some take their time. Some want to investigate absolutely everything.
That’s why we adapt the experience to the dog in front of us, so your dog gets the space, support and encouragement they need to enjoy it in their own way.
And because these experiences are worth seeing, we capture them too.
You get a full set of photographs showing your dog exploring the theme, taking on the challenges and enjoying the Scent Garden for themselves.
For us, premium daycare means giving you the opportunity to give your dog more from their day.
More thought. More variety. More opportunities to play, explore, learn and enjoy themselves.
The Scent Garden is one of the extra experiences we’ve created for owners who want to add something genuinely special to their dog’s day.

The Scent Garden is something extra. It works alongside your dog’s normal play, exercise, socialisation and rest to give them an even richer day.
Scent Garden experiences are available exclusively to dogs who attend Tails of The Lake daycare.
If your dog already attends Tails, ask us about adding the next Scent Garden experience to their day.
If you’re new to Tails, the first step is to send a daycare enquiry so Phil can understand your dog and whether Tails could be the right fit.
