Fabulous day.....weather was kind, the venue perfect and the teams super. Intros for two very different dogs, Cinders and Purdy and their owner, Christine. Both dogs have taken to trailing like old pros and are already awesome. Loved catching up with Chris, Ailsa and Scarlett, Lynn and Gilly and Terrie and Dougie. It was super helpful having seasoned trailers to demo to our newcomer. Thanks to Paul for offering to trail lay and Jo for hosting, coffee, cake and biccies. Faisca did his first free trail (aka I'm not holding onto his line for an intensity cos I like living 🀣) and was like an Exocet honing in on his misper. Need more days like this 😍

Thanks to Jody McQuiston Cumbria Canine Services for inviting Solway Scent and Search back to deliver a scent workshop. This time we concentrated on rural large spaces, line-ups and had a little trial. Blown away by how well all teams did and great to see the progress they've all made. Looking forward to more sessions with a fab bunch of dogs and owners.

Scentsational afternoon at Brunton Park. Dogs worked fantastically well in a challenging environment. Also challenging for those handlers more used to working their dogs off lead. Although a couple of the teams struggled with the unusual environment and wind conditions in the stand, everyone put in good searches. Pleased with my boy too. He ignored all the dropped food to concentrate on a quite difficult hide and then managed a walk around the golf course with bodyguard Roxy without any major meltdowns. Well done to all the teams. Looking forward to the next oneπŸ‘

Interesting evening at Phase Purple. Bit of a refresher and some line handling and some unexpected searches in the dark. Work to do strengthening the indications but overall some super searches. Well done teams.

For the last 3 weeks I've had the privilege of teaching scent classes Canine Services whilst Jody has been living a life of leisure and luxury. It's been great to see the progress of her teams and catch up with them all as well as meeting some super new dogs and their owners. They were all kind to the supply teacher and I totally enjoyed the cake πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
