Nine wonderful dogs celebrating International Dogs Day yesterday in the most enriching way 🫶🐾

Thank you to all who came to the Summer Scentwork, as always it was a pleasure seeing you guys and watching your dogs use their incredible noses ❤️

A lovely evening hosting the Summer Scentwork Social 🥰

Every dog took on the challenge of the outdoor searching and did great with a little extra time and patience.

So lovely to catch up with everyone and see those familiar faces!

Big well done to tonight's winners Mabel & Tilly 🥳

Ajia was obviously knackered, and Storm got on board with the Summer theme!

Storm and Mabel have been besties since Puppy School! 🥰🐾

These two girls have grown up through the classes together — from Puppy School and Adolescents, through Beginners Scentwork, Recall Workshops and Next Steps Scentwork, to their Mantrailing Introduction. And on Wednesday, they’ll be back together for the Summer Scentwork Social too! 🌞👃

Being only a couple of weeks apart in age, it’s been so lovely to watch their friendship develop alongside their training. They’ve shared so many classes and experiences together, and their bond has remained just as strong as they’ve grown into two confident, capable young dogs.

And perhaps the best thing of all? Despite knowing how much fun they have together, both girls are laser-focused when it’s time to work. They’re experts at switching from best friends to serious scentwork mode! 😂

It’s such a pleasure watching these two grow, learn and have fun together ❤️

Another week, another Next Steps class! 🥳🐾

Ruby, Simba, Storm and Mabel absolutely smashed another week of searching! They also consolidated their ‘move on’ cue and even learnt a brand-new cue too.

A busy evening with a lovely group of people and dogs — what more could you ask for? 🥰

Simba absolutely aced his progression trail! With a determined focus on the task at hand, he ploughed down the trail with purpose and drive to find his trail layer.

On his hunting trail, Simba had a fantastic find during both the first and final stints, although he seemed to lose a little motivation and focus through the middle stints.

We decided to finish the session with an intensity trail, giving him the opportunity to regroup, refocus and finish on a real high.

After chatting with his owner, we felt that the dip in focus may have been due to the amount of waiting time beforehand. For a dog who is only one year old, this is completely understandable! It’s something we’ll bear in mind when considering his running order at future trails, so we can give this young man the best opportunity to stay focused and enjoy himself from start to finish.

Well done, Simba — you did brilliantly! 🫶

Travis, in his usual style, was calm, methodical and completely focused on finding his trail layer.

He really is such a laid-back guy, accomplishing his trails in the most polite and gentle manner possible.

During his progression trail, he didn’t even give the passing cyclist a second glance! Then, on his hunting trail, he marched (or perhaps wiggled!) his way up the hill with real purpose and motivation.

Travis is an absolute pleasure to have out trailing. Well done, Travis! 🥰

Makini had a fantastic progression trail, finding his trail layer quickly and, for him, with a good level of confidence!

This little man has been a bit of a worrier when it comes to people he doesn’t know for most of his life. As we can see in the video, his motivation to find his trail layer is already really high — although, once he locates them, his motivation to actually approach them understandably drops off.

It’s fair to say that Makini has already come on so much, both during this session and since his introduction session. Each time he sets foot on the trail, his confidence grows a little more.

Little by little, we’re going to make a lion out of this little guy, and before long, he’ll be striding around like he owns the place!

And I can confirm that Makini did get his reward after the video ends! His trail layer comes out of their hiding spot to reassure him that this game ONLY means good things 🙌❤️

Marty was, as usual, a keen and enthusiastic trailer! His motivation, as you can see from the video, is absolutely sky-high! 🤩

I honestly don’t think there’s anything — or anyone — that could get in the way of Marty finding his trail layer!

He sailed through his progression trail earlier in the session and then took on the challenge of the hunting trail like an absolute pro.

Well done, Marty! 🥳❤️

Another lovely morning of mantrailing with some brilliant dogs and clients 🫶

We took on a progression trail, followed by a hunting trail, which everyone smashed 👏

A lovely day for it with ideal trailing conditions. Plenty of laughs, smiles and wagging tails.

When you take Scentwork VERY seriously… 🌺🐾

Simba clearly got the memo that the upcoming scentwork social would be summer themed! 😂

I absolutely love this photo — not just because Simba looks ridiculously handsome in his Hawaiian shirt and flower necklace, but because it sums up something I love so much about my scentwork groups.

It’s not just the dogs who get completely engrossed in scentwork… their humans do too! ❤️

I love seeing how much thought, enthusiasm and sheer enjoyment goes into these sessions. From practising between classes, to celebrating the tiniest wins, to getting ridiculously excited about a really good search… you can tell just how much everyone enjoys doing this with their dogs.

And apparently, sometimes that enthusiasm extends to making sure your dog is appropriately dressed for the occasion!

Although Simba can't make it to Summer Scentwork anymore… he definitely get bonus points for commitment to the theme!

I can't wait to see his Halloween outfit 🥳🫶
