Mantrailing Lancashire

23/03/2025

We had a fantastic morning at our Double Blinds workshop with two teams of Grace!
We started with a short theory run through and how we would work each trail, and then set to work!
The first trail was split into a known/blue line trail and then ending with a double blind segment.
Whilst the second trail was a double blind/hunting mix.

The first trail gave each handler time to really concentrate on watching their dogs, Thier body language, when they were off the trail or their NSI.

Then they used that knowledge on the intensity, and their second trails.

Really great work from both teams! Both had very different but clear NSI, the handlers could read their dogs, each team again, whilst having subtly different signals, gave clear indications for directions of travel...they were both a dream to have on the session.
Huge shout-out as well to the handlers, for asking questions, going their dogs time and not rushing them, the line handling was great and (even though they may not have noticed) they gave good commentary and self evaluations as they went along.

Thank you for joining us! We look forward to planning our next set of workshops!

Fantastic weather at our session this morning over in Preston, where teams Dora, Freddy, Grace, Holly, and Luca did some work on high scent articles, road crossings, junctions or contaminated trails!

All worked very hard, with some almost pin perfect directional decisions and NSI!

Well done all of you!

A rather cold session last night over in Buckshaw, but that didn't stop teams Dot, Edie, Freya and Wyatt!

First our teams worked on road crossings and junctions, then moved on to walking finds, with a bag, where some had the trail layer walking away, and some towards them.

This can be challenging (and sometimes a challenge is a good way to track your progress or see what elements we may need to add more variation of as the instructor) as we are not only changing the trail layer presentation for the dog from static to moving, but also adding in something totally unusual, aka, the bag

The bag, more than anything threw a couple, one especially, but in the end, they all "found" their trail layers, bag and all!

There were some exceptional NSI and direction change indications from the dogs, some almost giving people whiplash😅
Great work everyone and thank you for joining us!

Well, what a glorious morning for some Mantrailing!
Teams Dora, Freddy, Grace, Holly, Luca and Tully joined us in the sun, for some casting starts, contaminated trails, casting, junctions or road crossings!

Casting starts was a new element for some of the teams, but they all managed to find the start of the trail and set off to hunt down their trail layers!
Really nice work through the contamination and some very precise changes of direction!

Fantastic work everyone and thank you for joining us!

Glorious morning of Mantrailing with teams Boudie, Dora, Freddy, Grace, Holly, Luca, Sassie, Storm and Tank over in Bamber Bridge!

We kicked off the session with contaminated starts for some teams, with the scent article approached from the opposite direction. Then moved onto junctions and contaminated trails, casting, walking finds or hunting trails!

Absolutely amazing work from all of them! All dogs at different experience levels, some had unexpected decoys, some had extra contamination to work through and some had traffic moving the scent around to contend with.

They all worked hard! Such a great morning! Thank you everyone for joining us!

Congratulations all of you on passing your Level one!!

Our afternoon Intro session with Dogwarts Dog Training saw five teams kick off their Mantrailing journey in style!

What we love (almost the) most about Mantrailing is that you can see the dogs progression across the session, and just how much, once they've got the game, they love it!

Well done everyone on completing your introduction! Some absolutely fabulous dogs!

Yesterday we were back over with to do some Level One Assesments and Introductions to Mantrailing!

We kicked off the day with the assessments, and some Level Two prep and oh boy what a fantastic of teams! Great work on the assessments and on their Level two prep!
We covered working on starts, body language, subtle signs that there may be a change of direction but most importantly, how to keep it fun AND build the dogs confidence!

Amazing group of handlers and dogs, CONGRATULATIONS all on passing your Level One!

Fantastic morning of Mantrailing over in Blackburn today!
Teams Albie, Dora, Grace, Holly and Luca started off with working on junctions starts, followed by some walking finds - with the trail layer walking TOWARDS them, with a bag for life!
This can be a *little* but mind blowing, but most of them coped ok! Shout out to Albie who not only had a walking finds but had to make a split second decision when a "wild" decoy stumbled upon his trail!

Thank you everyone for joining us!

Our Mantrailing teams Dot, Edie, Freya, Venom and Wyatt were AMAZING over in Clitheroe last night!
They had some very tricky trails, with multiple junctions, road crossings, open spaces, sneaky ginnels, complex junctions, with lots of contamination and a new contender to take over as Grumpy Cat.
Some absolutely fantastic NSI and decisions making!

Well done everyone, definitely some trails to be proud of!

Fantastic morning of Mantrailing, with great weather, over at Walton Summit!
Teams Albie, Dora, Freddy, Grace, Holly, Luca and Ziggy were put to work with some junctions and turns for their warm up trails. Then, for their second trails, they had the task of working through contamination, past a decoy, navigating junctions, and ending with a walking trail layer!

Really great work with the decoys, good NSI and decisions and great work with the walking finds!

Thank you all for joining us!!

Great, albeit very cold, evening of Mantrailing over in Blackburn yesterday with teams Dot, Echo, Edie and Freya!
It might have been subzero temperatures, with some swirling winds, but these teams did fantastic work on junctions, road crossings and contamination.
Really great NSI where needed, great decision making from them all! Echo and Edie also tried scent article starts, which made them have to think a little more, but steadier for the handlers, all trail layers found not a problem!

Well done everyone and thanks for joining us!
