Oooooooo this was HARD!
Izzy picked up the wrong trail at the 3 way junction. She's very self confident (sometimes too much so π) when trailing so she powered on through and didn't slow to think hey maybe I went wrong, just using her eyes and guessing where her misper might be.
I let her check out the first junction until she showed me she had no interest in continuing, then some teamwork needed to get her back to where I thought she had gone wrong.
Really impressed with her resilience with it going "wrong" but do wish she wasnt always sp gung-ho when she HAS picked up the wrong path ππ

The telephone box challenge... can you mantrailing dog find someone IN a telephone box?! This was a little too hard for Indy's current experience level after a mantrailing break but he stayed confident and thoroughly enjoyed his intensity trail. It really shows the importance of that short intensity trail after the main trail, rewarding those choices and decision making processes and finishing on a positive note especially as we don't always get it right when route setting!
A fun 200m trail over some traditional British (ie - muddy!) countryside on a double blind trail for baby Bella here! She absolutely nailed it! π₯
Last nights Christmas themed trick workshops was my last teaching appointment of the 2024 π. Here's Lucy Labrador showing of some of her skills π€©π.
As always I've loved working with everyone this year whether it be for tricks, puppies, life skills, agility or 1-1's.
I hope you all have a lovely safe Christmas with your pupstars and I'll look forward to more of the same in 2025.
