Here's Woody showing off his incredible skills and locating his hidden person during a recent Mantrailing session. Watch how he scours the area with only his nose as his guide. Fantastic work - even tiny noses can achieve great things!

Percy’s first Mantrailing UK progression session today and he was super keen, 100m and 150m intensity trails for him today! 😊Piper’s body language was on point and mum read her well- she had a high hide 🌴and an obvious out in the open trail layer! 🚶‍♀️Ayla worked her trail lovely today, she was a bit warm today so the “wait” on trail was really useful today to give her time to cool off and finally the powerhouse that is Remus…. 💪Four 100m hunting trails to keep him motivated and focused as he likes to stop and scent mark a lot. This worked well for him and he also had to deal with off lead dogs coming in to check him out, flankers are really helpful in this situation 🙄

Aleks and Hope smashed their Bronze Series two workshop UK Sniffer Dogs and will be on Silver level in no time at all. 💥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Super sniffer Alfie is our first dog to complete Bronze grades two and four - certificates on the way!!! 🎓🎓⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Barney was equally amazing on his first progression session and we got loads signed off- helps his mum is a customs dog handler and Barney trained as a sniffer dog. Now retired he still enjoys using his nose for fun- definitely one to watch for our upcoming trials 💥

Why not make the most of the fine weather and learn a new skill? Imagine having such a keen sense of smell that you could identify the difference between a red Kong and a black Kong without looking! UK Sniffer Dogs Tracking is distinct from Mantrailing, in that you will teach your dogs to find a hidden red Kong toy from a distance purely by using their nose. It's a fascinating and fulfilling process for you both.
For more information about the process visit https://dtce.co.uk/uk-sniffer-dogs-tracking.
Beginner (Bronze) workshops are available from July, and can be booked here https://dtce.co.uk/book-on-line/ola/services/uk-sniffer-dogs-tracking

Tuesday kicks off another Mantrailing UK session at another new venue! Thanks to Andy for car watching while Koda, Nala and Piper came out and smashed it. 💪350m trails, lakes, road crossings. What a better way to spend the morning. Hopefully Lisa has managed to get her car fixed and will back in another session 🔜

18/06/2024

It's been a super-busy month so far for Team DTCE, still on their 2024 quest to cause a national rosette shortage! Our first catch-up comes from the Dartford and Upanova Agility Show which took place on the first weekend in June. Every single dog and handler excelled themselves yet again - please see individual photo captions for details.
We're in awe of you, Team - forever your cheerleaders 💙

Lovely video of Woody’s trail with a “wait” built in. You will see he ignores the decoys on the trail, no hesitation on the turn and a beautiful sit indication when he finds his trail layer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This dog has only had three sessions I believe 🤔

16/06/2024

Todays mantrailing saw mock level one assessments for Nala and Rocket- both of whom would’ve passed 🎓🎓I also added a controlled cast exercise for the group today. Nice team work and fab mock trails laid by Heather and Mike….Best of all the rain held off 😊

13/06/2024

Not going to lie. Tonight I cried during my mantrailing class. When loki first came to us he was soo anxious about the outside world. Removed from his mum too soon and during lockdown he hasn’t had the best start. He won’t take treats or a toy from strangers. So We had to think out the box for his motivation. The trail itself is motivating for loki and he loves his Dad so we have worked on an indication within 5m of his hidden person and a sit indication next to his Dad (like a customs dog). Steve and Loki smashed their mock level one assessment tonight. Proud trainer 😄 awesome night all round for Kilo, Woody and Piper too. Very windy, aged trails, high hides. Awesome work 🙏

13/06/2024
