The highlight of Mantrailing for me today was Ollie the silken windhound… older gent and he aced his first progression session- I think I was as excited as his owner 😂😂 Gunner shows super potential on his first progression session also, lovely to see Kilo back and Ayla showed off her awesome problem solving skills. Great session 😊

Mantrailing Myths – Busted!
Mantrailing is an incredible activity for all dogs and handlers, but there are plenty of myths surrounding it. Let’s clear up a few misconceptions:

❌ Only certain breeds can do it
Mantrailing is for EVERY dog regardless of breed, size, or age. If they’ve got a nose, they can trail!

❌ It’s the same as search & rescue
While the techniques might be similar, mantrailing is a sport and doesn’t require the extensive training or certifications needed for professional search and rescue work.

❌ It’s only for highly trained dogs
Absolutely not! Any dog can start mantrailing, whether they’re a seasoned pro in dog sports or a complete beginner.

❌ It’s too easy for the dog
Far from it! Mantrailing challenges a dog’s brain, instincts, and problem solving skills while giving them an amazing sense of purpose.

❌ It’s just about following the dog
There’s a lot more to mantrailing than simply “following.” It’s all about teamwork, communication, and trust between you and your dog.

❌ It’s just a game of hide and seek
Mantrailing is so much more! It’s a structured, rewarding activity that strengthens your bond and hones your dog’s natural scenting ability.

Ready to put these myths to rest and get your nose in the game? Join us for a session and see what mantrailing is really all about!

A brilliant day for our instructor Megan, and Lola, who were at Dog Sports Derby for the Novice Cup Final on Saturday! They were runners up in the Novice Cup Warm Up Jumping, which they followed with a 3rd place finish in the main event, the Novice Cup Agility Final. What an achievement - and to think it was their first time running on carpet too. DTCE has much to be proud of! 🥰💙

Something shiny for your BFF's Christmas stocking? There are around 100 breeds to choose from when you order one of our gorgeous, hard wearing, hand-enamelled identity tags - we'll even engrave it for your ourselves at DTCE HQ, ready for your next class.

She's still too young to start Agility training, but Agility instructor Mark's puppy has clearly been paying attention whilst watching the big dogs train, as this week she decided to show the Tuesday group how it's done... Just look at her students go 💙!

MEGAN AND LOLA ARE GOING TO CRUFTS!! We were on tenterhooks this morning at DTCE, as we watched the live stream of The Medium Novice Cup Semi Final from The Kennel Club International Agility Festival. Qualifiers throughout the year had whittled hundreds of entries down to 29 dogs & handlers, competing for just six available places at Crufts. Megan and Lola, running 28th, smashed a clear round 2nd place to win their rightful place at next year's Crufts! Our Agility instructor Mark summarised Megan and Lola's time in the ring. "What impressed me most," he said, "were the choices Megan made. As if the pressure of qualifying for Crufts wasn't enough, that was a challenging course with tricky handling choices to be made. She watched lots of people run it differently but stuck to her plan. The course had fast lines that worked best if you attacked them - if you played it safe you'd probably fall into one of the traps. Megan attacked and Lola absolutely nailed it...." Our Champ Megan, says, "I don’t think I’m going to sleep for the next 7 months - I’m so excited! It was so nerve racking but she was a superstar so no need to ever doubt her! ❤️" Two superstars, Megan - both you and Lola. Congratulations. We're your biggest fans 💙

If you've ever wondered why we usually have a couple of steady, reliable older dogs in Puppy Social sessions, this short clip's a really good explanation. Listen carefully and you'll hear the gentle-but-firm correction our Grandad dog, Dragster, gives to River when she begs him for attention. He knows it's all she needs; she respects his choices and ultimately learns manners from the experience. Healthy communication 💙! Puppy Social - Saturdays at 9am.
