I can't wait to see you next weekend in Devon :).

I still have a couple of places in the experienced & beginner Urban Freestyle groups, come along! We'll be in the middle of Exeter, so it will be great environmental exposure, but also an epic one.

I've also put the next weekend I'm down to the schedule, it will be the first weekend of July. Please message for 1-2-1 places.

I'm currently in Northern Ireland having an amazing time learning from Conservation Detection Dogs NI and exploring with my dogs. I'll share a proper post about our adventures once we are back :).

This trip reminded me how fun it is to search in new locations, so I'm adding some Scent Pop-ups to the schedule for when I'm down next in Devon at the end of May.

We've always had so much fun on these :)!

The first one will be at Cranbrook on Friday the 29th, 6pm.
If it fills up before you book, or you would like a different odour/or beginner friendly session, please message me and I can put up another group before/after.

I'm also thinking about the best use of Saturday afternoons. I always get a lot of interest for 1-2-1s and workshops, so please let me know if you have enquiries!

What an amazing and very productive weekend we had, so good to see you all again!

It wasn’t warm, but we were lucky with dry weather for our Urban Freestyle sessions at Darts Farm. The experienced teams learned new Elements and worked on Combos, even while training around so many people and dogs. You guys were really showing off!

By the time the beginner dogs had their turn, the place was busy! With the puppies, our main focus is confidence and engagement, and this was the perfect environment to practise that. They also got some UF moves, so proud of these teams!

The rest of the weekend was all about scent work. Challenges varied by level, and we worked on indications of course, line‑ups, hides at thresholds, multiple (a lot of) hides, inaccessible hides, and more. I love working with you all and watching the teams improve!

My personal highlights: Puppy made a new friend, Alba, Jane’s puppy. Which is extra special as we now have our third‑generation of dogs being friends 🥹❤️.

And for those following P’s health journey, we also got praise from our physio, which is amazing news!

I’ll be in Belfast on placement with the Detection Dogs NI placement at the end of April, but I’ll see you all again in May!
Some courses are up in the booking (nearly full) but I'll put more up for Saturday.

This weekend I finally get to see you and your dogs in Devon.

I’ve got some fun challenges lined up for our scent work teams, and we’re finally taking Urban Freestyle out and about again!

I have a young‑dog UF place available. It’s a great opportunity for any active puppy, think of it as sport foundation training with a lovely, supportive group, great environmental training opportunity!

If you know someone with a young dog who might enjoy this, please share it with them. They will need a booking password, so the best thing is to message me and we can quickly check whether it’s the right fit.

Thank you all for coming to train with me this weekend, it means a lot. I had an amazing time seeing you all, it definitely makes me miss Devon!

On Saturday, our Urban Freestyle Experienced workshop showed some serious skills, and just as the Foundations, was an absolute joy. I couldn’t stop smiling watching the puppies have such a good time with you.

In the Scent work skill building workshop we had time to geek out and work through some great challenges. It's a long one, but so much progress in the teams.

In the Scent Challenges sessions on Sunday, every team tried so hard and worked through some tricky hides in my setups, I hope you are proud of your dogs.

Both Cooperative Care and Scent Detection 121s were, as always, such a privilege to teach.

I also indulged in endless cuddles with all my dog friends. Puppy had a great weekend meeting his friends, making a new girlfriend, having a physio session, and being my adventure buddy.

Meanwhile, Freya was spoilt with cuddles in bed and lots of walks by a friend in Aber (thank you :)). Overall, I couldn’t ask for more, and I can’t wait to see you all at the end of March!

I’ll see you this weekend and I can’t wait!

I’m also glad we’ll be mainly indoors, as I’m not sure how the weather will hold up :D.

Our Puppy/Foundation Urban Freestyle on Saturday session still has a space available. If you know anyone who’d like to train their young dog in a new environment and build fun foundations, feel free to pass it on!

If you’re booked in for a 1-2-1, please make sure to complete your payment if you haven’t already. So far, there are no additional spaces available.

And here’s a pic of a very happy Freya before the grey muzzle set in :)
