We had a wonderful LK9 (mantrailing) social walk this morning! 🥰
Some brought dogs along, some came solo, some stayed for a pub lunch, and others had to dash off—but it was lovely to see all of you.

It was so nice to have a chance to chat and catch up without my focus being on teaching, and it really highlighted how much mantrailing is about the social connections as well as working with our dogs.

Thanks to everyone who came along—I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

I think it’s been decided that a summer BBQ social is needed😀

On Sunday, LK9 teamed up with Jason from Worcester Dogs to offer 20 teams a unique and festive mantrailing session on the buses. 🐾🚌🐕‍🦺

The weather was wild! While we had the occasional glimpse of blue sky and sunshine, the day was dominated by strong, cold winds and rain, making an already challenging venue even tougher for the dogs to work in.

Each dog had the opportunity to trail into buildings, explore the buses, and work with novel, Christmassy scent articles. For the humans, there were plenty of snacks, non-alcoholic mulled wine 😉, hot drinks, and festive fun. Prizes were awarded for the best-dressed festive costumes in each group, and everyone went home with a goodie bag to mark the occasion. 🎅🏼🎁

It was fantastic to collaborate with another instructor and to see so many happy dogs and owners working so well together. Jason and I were both incredibly impressed with how brilliantly everyone handled the conditions. Well done, all! 🙌🏼🐕‍🦺

As per, I took lots of photos (although less in the afternoon as it got darker) so these are from the morning and I’ll do a separate post with photos from the afternoon groups😀)

And….That’s a wrap for LK9 dog walks in 2024🐾

Cheryl and I would like to thank you all for your support and trusting us with your dogs🙏🏻

We are back to work on January 2nd and look forward to seeing ‘our’ dogs again then.

Have a wonderful Christmas and see you next year 🎉🐾🎉🐾

I’ve been learning more about clarity in communication with our dogs lately and as a result I’m introducing more reward specific markers with pup. More words/cues for me to remember 🙈 but making it clearer for pup to know what is expected, what to anticipate and to lower or raise arousal levels👍🏻

Happiest (BIG!) Birthday to Jen, my LK9 Mantrailing sidekick 🎉🥂

An awesome instructor, mantrailing enthusiast and generally lovely person- I am lucky to have her working alongside me😀🐕‍🦺

Despite hitting a new decade in life, I doubt that she will slow down at all😆🙈

56!
I’m in a group for dog professionals & businesses and this months personal challenge is to set up a camera and do a proper pose with no dogs and no silly faces😬.
I’ve avoided it all month (we are meant to post a pic once a week) but decided to go for it with the windswept, country look on my birthday
😜Out of comfort zone!

Sunday morning was spent tackling some unique mantrailing challenges, thanks to the wonderful team at Astons Coaches who kindly let us train our dogs on their buses and in and around some buildings. These environments provided incredible opportunities to test the dogs’ skills!

From navigating gusting winds and hard surfaces to working trails on the top deck of double-decker buses, every dog faced a tough challenge today. We set trails that started indoors, where scent was contained, before it whooshed into the open air. We also worked trails leading from outside into buildings, adding another layer of complexity.

It wasn’t easy but I was blown away by how well all the teams performed. The handlers were brilliant, too, staying mindful of maintaining an open position and giving their dogs space to make decisions in these tricky, confined environments.

A huge well done to everyone—what a fantastic session!

Tuesday was Lisa’s turn to work with teams in Broadway—a particularly magical spot with all the Christmas lights twinkling 🎅🏼💡

🐕‍🦺 Team Fozzie completed his first progression trail and absolutely smashed it! Such a confident, excited little chap—he took everything in his stride.

🐕‍🦺 Team Jarvis worked brilliantly through the busier areas. Although he was tempted to investigate people enjoying their chippy tea, he managed to stay focused and work past them like a pro!

🐕‍🦺 Nox and Kaos shared their session: Nox worked in a quieter area because she can be a little anxious, while Kaos, on only her third session, worked through some busy crowds at times and stayed impressively focused. Their owner has worked so hard to build their confidence, and it really shines through each time they come mantrailing.

Super work from everyone this evening—well done all! 🙌🏼

On Monday evening, Jennifer ran our monthly Mini Skills Clinic, focusing on obvious trail layers and walking trail layers.

Each team had worked at this venue before, but Monday evening brought added challenges—gusty winds and some unusual noises.

For the first trail, teams worked with a trail layer standing out in the open. It’s fascinating how dogs can become accustomed to someone hiding, so changing the context often throws them. Despite this, every team was successful!

The second trail featured a walking trail layer, adding complexity with the wind in play. Again, all teams rose to the challenge and completed their trails brilliantly.

Fantastic work, everyone

On the booking page I described today’s mantrailing venue as hilly and muddy—and it certainly lived up to the description! 😂

We had four teams tackling longer trails, with most of them working on distances over 500m (& upto 800m) for the very first time and using the mantrailing app to track their progress.

While the practicalities of the day didn’t always go to plan, the dogs did some fantastic work. The longer trails provided a great opportunity for handlers to really observe and interpret their dogs’ body language. Plenty of path options as well as wide open spaces, provided some good challenges.

It was an enjoyable (if tiring!) session, and I’m looking forward to running it again soon! 😀🐕‍🦺

(Sorry I didn’t get overlap plans for every trail. The blue line is the trail layers route and the red line is where the dog went to find them).
