Jobs for Dogs

was born in 2013 out of the passion for dog's olfaction. It was found by Jenny Koljonen and Päivi Romppainen. We are best known for the pioneer work of Human ID Scent Tracking for civilian dogs and work in co-operation with selected dog training professionals. We believe there is an eager working dog inside of every family dog. Dare to release it.
