Started in heavy rain but the weather changed and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon out on the trails!

All girl group today with Rosie, Callie and Vallis 🥰 Rosie and Callie brought their a game and completed some great trails and we’ve started to build up that focus passing other dogs and continue working 👌

Vallis was trying it out for the first time but the girl has a magnificent nose and instantly connected the dots between the scent article and the reward. She gets a bit nervous at the end as she’s not a fan of strangers so we gave her plenty of space for her to feel comfortable.

Great day, well done everyone ❤️

We tried out an insta 360 camera on one of our recent sessions. The doggos coped well with the “camera crew” following them and we got some nice footage 🥰🥰

Thank you Graeme Lloyd for bringing a new toy along 😂😂 think everyone loved it!

Such different breeds, so many different styles of trailing, but everyone is set up for success and I think those waggy tails at the end say it all🥰

Do you have adolescent dog with to much energy?

Or a puppy in need of focus?

A working breed that just wants to hunt everything that’s they’re not supposed to?

Then mantrailing is for you!

Teach your dog a new skill and provide some mental and physical stimulation.

We teach the dogs to use their superpower nose and sniff out ‘missing people’ following their unique scent.

The benefits of mantrailing:
🐶 mental enrichment - sniffing is a natural instinct every dog can do, so why not teach them how to channel that into finding “missing people.” 20 minutes of sniffing is equal to an hour’s walk.
🐶 dog work one at a time and are always kept on a lead, so perfect for any pup that doesn’t have 100% recall
🐶 fantastic for nervous dogs - we work on their confidence building in new environments, strangers, other dogs
🐶 perfect for high-energy or working dogs - mantrailing gives them a job to do and builds up their focus.
🐶 Exercise for both you and your dog, working together and building your bond.
🐶 meet like-minded people that are there to support you and your pup.
🐶no previous experience is needed; all you need is your dog some tasty treats, and you are set to go.

Roses were Pink
Hearts were Blue,
Ready or not,
Daisy, Indi, Biscuit, Cooper, Dexter and Star
Are coming for you!!

Great wee Valentines day session with the pups working hard as our industrial estate was busier than usual! Special shout out to Cooper and his mum Gillian trying it out for the first time. Cooper fits right in and has already done some great trailing today 🥳🥳

14/02/2025

Amd we hopefully had one of the last night trails. We had Col and Elaine joitus for the first time and they done amazing, Col is an amazing 10 month old ESS already loving his new job🥰🥰

Luey was back after a wee break and brought his usual joyful self and smashed it.

Roman struggles with noght time trails sometimes but he was focused, motivated and very brave and it’s nice to see him doing what he loves 🥰

14/02/2025

Totally forgot to post these pics on Saturday🙈

It was such a good morning, we challenged the dogs to longer and more complicated trails that they haven’t done before and they all smashed it🥰🥰 you could just see their brains working ❤️

Well done Callie, Morven, Coast, Summer and Piper

01/02/2025

Afternoon was all about the newbie doggos. We had Pippa, Katie and Dexter all building their confidence. It was so nice to see them coming out of their shell from trail 1 to 3🥹

Biscuit was our oldie goldie and was also challenged with a novelty scent article - door handle, took the scent no bother and trailed beautifully all the way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

01/02/2025

Back out on the trails after the storm and it was such a lovely day! We had Ruby, Finn, Mamika, Bruno and Freddie out in the morning working through loads of distractions, even horses 😬

Freddie was trying it out for the first time and he did a fantastic job, already on his was to become a professional 😉

Bruno has no patience with standing around so did 2 scent article starts and as predicted he knocked it out of the park 🥳

It was Mamika’s third shot today and she’s already grown so much in confidence, she has engaged her inner Pointer and is starting to hunt down her trail layer 🥰

Big shout out to Finn and Ruby who we’re challenged with a novely scent article - door handle. Both took the scent amazingly well and trailed with ease to the end👌👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a fantastic afternoon at the best venue (thank you again to Jane and Mark)

So many different breeds but all using their superpower to sniff out those silly people that always get lost, building foundations and motivation, all trailing in their individual way, just love it!

Big massive shoutout to Indi, was an amazing girlie, she had to work through a totally new environment (with mud which she hates😂) and finding people she’s never met before but she worked hard and just smashed it🥰🥰

11/01/2025

Then a change of location and our afternoon group.

Again we worked on individual challenges, the park was pretty busy so was an additional challenge for the dogs.

Loved seeing all the different breeds working today, they all do it in their individual way and they all smash it. Is that not just the best? That is why mantrailing is such an awesome thing to do with your pup 🥰🥰🥰

Well done to everyone that battled the cold and came out! You’re the best!

11/01/2025

I can post pics now that my fingers have defrosted after being out the whole day😂😂😂

Cold morning so I was looking forward to see how the dogs would deal with it all! We set them up for some challenges, learning to think at junctions and follow the trail. They all did a fantastic job!

I don’t often get the chance to trail my own dogs so I was determined to get them out during the Christmas break. Luckily I have fab friends that were happy to come out and have a nice morning (that actually became afternoon by the time we were finished) trailing and hiding.

It has been months since they were out, so I kinda wanted to give them a challenge but also set them up for success.

Bradley had a scent article start which he sometimes struggles with or he doesn’t really want to sniff the scent article. But he trailed all the way nicely, he was checking a lot especially in the huge open space. The highlight for me is always when they hit a trail and go the opposite direction but stop after a few seconds, turn around and go full speed because they are 100% sure it’s that way. Love trailing him and watching the video after. He also had a decoy next to his missing person, love how he came in, had a big sniff of the decoy and was like ‘nope’, went to me correct person and just sat down. So proud of him 🖤🖤❤️

Blaze was back out after her illness so we set up an easy trail for her warm up to get her back into the game is she was her old self again 🥰🥰 so proud of her for always bouncing back and always willing to work with me. Second trail was a scent article start with a decoy at the end and she did so good. She is still a bit shy sometimes and just waits for me to come close enough for her liking before she continues the trail but once she realised the reward is close that’s when she’s like a little rocket ❤️🖤 Her indications are also coming along so nicely 👌👌

Need more days like this, thank you and for coming out and playing 😍😍

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄🎅

Want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that has booked our classes, 1-2-1s and of course my dog walking doggos for all the love and trust through the year. We are taking a little break through Christmas and NY but will be back for more fun and games next year!

Last mantrailing session of the year and first time in Falkirk, I think that’s a good way to finish the year 🤩

We had Haggis, Indy and Minnie, new location for everyone but they all smashed it, working on different surfaces, problem solving on junctions, eliminating those pesky decoys, all of this in a fairly busy environment.

We also had the handsome Kai trying it for the first time, so we were working on his drive, motivation and getting the reward right. Think we succeeded as the boy has done some noce trails 🥰 it was great to meet him and his mum today and can’t wait to see what he can do next year!

We are finishing classes for this year but we are back in January and there is still some spaces available, you can book yours here: https://bookwhen.com/bcldogtrainingandmantrailing

We trail in Ayrshire, Falkirk and Glasgow!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ MANTRAILING SUCCESS ⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you don’t already know, I love my job and I love working with all the different breeds, temperaments and the amazing people that absolutely adore their pups. That if why I decided to have posts dedicated to your dogs and their story. Maybe someone reading all the amazing stories will see themselves in this and decide they want to join in on all the fun and benefits that mantrailing brings to our dogs and the humans 🥰 🧡INDI🧡 I can’t imagine starting with anyone else that this girlie. She is a Rhodesian Ridgeback that finds the world overwhelming sometimes, finding it difficult to trust strangers and other dogs. Her owner Teresa came along because she thought mantrailing could help with her confidence and to spend some quality time with her pup. It was a very long journey as Indi is also very picky with her food 🙈, but bit by bit and trail by trail we build the trust and motivation (and the trail-layer always has her buffet ready for when she finds them😂😂). We also indroduced Indi to the basics of tracking which the team could practice at home. And all of it together made her turn a corner. And Indi is now a happy girl on the trail and her wagging tail says it all when she smells the missing person in proximity. I always say mantrailing is for everyone, no matter the breed, age or temperament, everyone is welcome. I can quarantine you will always be welcomed as everyone is there to help each other and we always set every dog for success.
