Sniffing is one of the most natural things a dog does.

Mantrailing and scentwork take that natural instinct and channel it into an activity that helps the dog relax, and is suitable for reactive or nervous dogs

I decided that the girls needed some 121 training time, so I found a nice quiet area and did some area searches with the girls.
Iti was able to work off lead, which she was happier with. And Freyja had her line dragging.
They both loved getting some proper training, rather than a quick search in the house or garden.

Today I achieved something that I never thought I would. The photo below is the evidence......
Freyja and Iti in the same photo was a dream I've had for many years and today I achieved it. The girls were so good.
Have you achieved something this weekend that has been a dream?

Last Sunday afternoons mantrailing session was epic!!
The scent article for the first trail was a leaf which the dogs took scent and found their person with no problems.
The second trails scent article was a patch of scuffed grass in a highly dog contaminated area. Again no issues and the dogs all took scent with no problems. The happened to be a tree with suitable places to stand on, so we had a high find as well. Two of the dogs were completing a high find for the first time, and coped very well with a little well timed encouragement from their handlers.
The third trail was a longer one over mixed terrain and a blend of rural and urban.
No difficulties at all, one of the teams had a strong gust of wind which carried their persons scent directly to them, but the dog quickly realised that he couldn't go that way and continued to follow the trail.
A good afternoons work from four experienced teams.

My office for this afternoon.
I am trusting the BBC'S weather app that it won't rain today.....
Playing catch-up with an article on tracking and mantrailing - the deadline was yesterday 😱 but having had two poorly dogs followed by the death of my Bluetooth keyboard..... this is not my best week.....
So nose to grindstone........

A lovely Easter Sunday afternoon mantrailing - what else are you going to do???
We did two longer trails using the environment to provide scent articles.
It was very breezy which blew the scent all over the place, but all five dogs worked through the problem with little difficulty.

Wish me luck, tomorrow I'm going to be on Radio Bristol between 12 and 1 talking to Paris Troy about Mantrailing. Looking forward to it, but also a bit nervous as well

Most New Year's Eve the girls and I go on our M5 services Trek to avoid the fireworks, and most years I look at one particular services and wish I could set up a search for the girls to work..........
This year it was early enough and the services were shut, so I set the search up for the girls and they so enjoyed working.

Todays session at Forest Oak Farm saw four teams of similar experience work on aged trails and transitioning from delayed starts to scent article starts.
Three teams worked the same trail.......
The results were very interesting indeed. Each dog was convinced that they were going the right way.
Well done everyone
