A few snaps from Day One at Woofstock UK

Did you know I also run an online training and behaviour platform with my good friend Dawn from pawsitive_canine. We are The Dog Geeks !!

Today we have had the best time at . We got to chat to so many amazing humans and their dogs.

A huge thanks to Cookie, Winnie, Spirit and Otto for being the best demo dogs for our scent work demo. The dogs were amazing and so was Kell from Grooming Marvellous Exmouth thanks for being the bestest baddie!

If you want to see a reenactment tomorrow with a different set of demo dogs join us in the main ring at 1pm.

If you have any questions you’d like to ask myself and Dawn then we can be found offer the Dog Geeks question time at 3pm in the speakers tent. Take this opportunity to grab some free advice from not just one behaviourist but two!

Looking forward to seeing lots of you tomorrow!

Which path would you take?

We know that all dogs are different. All sensitive dogs have different triggers.

Yesterday on our walk we found ourself a bit stuck! To get to safety we had to pass one of the triggering situations below.

Which do you think we
went for?

A. A family with 3 young children and an off lead Staffie

B. A man with his hood up and a barky Terrier and a ball launcher.

C. A lady with an off lead Cocker

None of the dogs were interested in Otto. Which option do you think was the safest and why?!

Who had the most fun Mantrailing this weekend? Everyone! No only is Mantrailing a great activity for a dog’s brain and body but it’s also great activity for boosting confidence, resilience and a love for doing things with you! Mantrailing is a real team effort. The little community of humans that come along are fab, super supportive of the sensitive dogs, the biggest cheerleads for everyone and such a bunch of genuinely lovely people that just want to do things with their dogs.
