Thought I’d try out the - thanks for the idea !

1 minute, 30 reps. I think Woodbine got 32! What fun 😎

I need to work on dropping treats one at a time..!

The dog should target the bowl in order to gain a marker or click.

My job was to mark on time and deliver the treat in an orderly and prompt fashion. Did I do it? 🤷‍♀️

Does your dog do everything beautifully in the living room, then get outside and act like you’ve never met?

This is the sort of thing we work on in our Confident Canines group classes.

We practise everyday skills and techniques that you can use every single day. We adjust the exercises and give dogs their space when they need it. If you're looking to help your dog check in with you more frequently, focus around distractions, and just bring the intensity down a notch... then this is for you. Turn the desperate walks into a more relaxing experience for you both.

NO judgement
NO pressure
Just come as you are :)

There are no pre-requisites! It's okay if you and your dog are total newbies to formal training. Just book on and come along! Suitable for dogs of any age and ability. If you’re unsure whether a group would be right for your dog, message me and tell me a bit about them. I'll give you an honest recommendation ❤️

£10 a session, every Wednesday at 6:30pm.
Siding Lane, Rainford, WA11 7SR

Woodbine performing a disc search in an acre of land. I was really impressed with him for this one!

There is a brief moment about halfway through where I thought he had caught the scent of something. I made a mental note to bring him back to that area to search if he hadn’t managed the find within a reasonable time, however he found it on his own anyway! Can anyone guess and give me a timestamp? See if you can spot it 🐕🐾

Happy Monday guys!

I thought I'd finish up my series on Trail Hunt International by explaining more of the benefits in detail.

If you're a MANTRAILING team looking to improve your performance then read on.

As I said in my first post- if logistics is causing you to progress slower than desired, then Trail Hunt could be a valuable addition to your training program.

The beauty of Trail Hunt is that you can set up your own scenarios. Whether that be in a club session, or just practising out there as a solo team. If you want to lay a trail in a straight line, go for it. If you want to lay a trail with fifty different decision points, you have the freedom to do so.

If you have analysed your most recent session and realised that your dog needs more practice with an element, you can very quickly replicate that same setup.

You can tailor the scenario to fit your needs.

"Lay your own trails"- what does that mean for you?

For me it means
⭐Focusing on areas my dog struggles with.
⭐Squeezing in a trail before work or in a lunch break.
⭐Noticing my dog struggle with hard surface transitions, so I set up a week's worth of that scenario.
⭐Realising my dog finds it hard to trail through busy .environments, so I focus on that for a few weeks.
⭐Working on my own skills (like line handling or reward delivery)
⭐Being able to train when I'm away from home or in a unique location.

If this sounds good to you, my next Foundations course starts on the 24th September!

Held in SIDING LANE, RAINFORD in our secure field.
Thursday evening 6:30pm 24th Sep for 4 weeks

I want to hear about things your dog(s) have done so far this summer that have made you really proud. It can be literally ANTHING that springs to mind.
Training, behaviour, achievements, competitions, health. Anything.

But I want you to put some welly into it.
Tell me how fantastic and wonderful and clever your dog is. PREACH about it.

Do it!!

I'll go first.

I'm really proud of Woodbine and his behaviour on our trip to the Isle of Skye last month. He was so relaxed in the house with our trip-buddies, was friendly with everyone, and was able to chill with all the other dogs. Biney basically didn't put a paw wrong, and we had a really really nice time. We had one busy hike where he was feeling a little overwhelmed but he recovered super well and was back to normal within hours. Honestly couldn't be happier with the dude. I am so proud of him and his choices 🧡

NOW YOU.

Treats, toys, tugs, and the rest! Come support this gorgeous sanctuary 💕
