Truffle Dog Training & Harvesting Services

Helping You Unearth Nature’s Hidden Treasure in the Southern Tablelands & Southern Highlands of NSW

At Serenity Scent Work, we specialise in building confident, reliable truffle dog teams – and we also offer experienced harvesting services with our own trained dogs. Whether you’re just getting started in truffle farming or looking for support during harvest season, we’re here to help.

Train With Us:
Grow a Skilled Truffle Dog Team

We offer tailored training for farmers and their dogs, focusing on building a clear communication system and creating a reliable partnership that thrives in the field.

What We Offer:

One-on-one training at your property
Step-by-step development of your dog’s truffle indication skills
Practical sessions in real-world harvesting environments
Support with training progression, troubleshooting, and seasonal readiness

Our approach focuses on welfare, trust, and teamwork.

Every dog learns at their own pace – play, rest, and reward are all a natural part of the process.

Hire Us:
Professional Truffle Harvesting

Need help finding your truffles at the right time – without the stress of training or managing your own dog team?

Jess and her experienced dogs – Ninja, McQueen, and Phoebe – are available to assist during harvest season, offering reliable detection, a low-impact presence, and a smooth process from start to finish.

We take the pressure off by:

Reducing the guesswork around when and where to harvest
Saving time by working efficiently across your Truffière
Providing consistent, reliable results without overworking your own dogs
Allowing you to focus on the rest of your harvest or farm operations

Whether you need a one-off visit or regular support throughout the season, we adapt to suit your needs. Let us take care of the truffle detection – so you can focus on the harvest.

Meet The Team

Ninja

A fiery redhead with endless drive, Ninja is an English Working Cocker Spaniel who lives to work and loves to move. She’s sharp, fast, and always ready to go – with just enough time for a cuddle when the job’s done.

McQueen

A rescue Cattle Dog living his best life! McQueen brings intensity, joy, and a serious work ethic to every truffière. He’s determined, dependable, and gives every search his all.

Phoebe

Phoebe is all ears – literally! This sweet Cocker Spaniel x Beagle has a mind of her own, a confident spirit, and plenty of charm. She’s inquisitive and sensitive, steadily building her skills.

Our truffle dog team is more than just skilled – they’re family. Each dog brings their own story, personality, and style to the job, working with heart, curiosity, and a love for the hunt.
