Highlands K9 Mantrailing

15/06/2024

A wonderful way to begin the weekend, Mantrailing Introduction and trailing session. We were joined by Tucker, a two year old, full of vitality and energy, vocally encouraging everyone else.

Hector who was so well behaved and controlled his owner thought he had a different dog.

Kuri joined in, having been given the all clear to participate even though she is expecting puppies in July.

Lots of learning and some great achievements in finding their trail layers.

A sure sign of a good session is when the owners are happy to see their dogs playing a natural game and all with smiling faces.

A wonderful welcome to Mantrailing is extended to "Meg" and Andrea Hargreaves who did a "One to one" Introduction workshop.

Meg is a Border Terrier who is just over one year old. Meg and Andrea were absolutely fabulous. Quick to learn the starting ritual and covered all three types of starts.

Meg loved to carry the scent article for a while but not for the whole trail. Today she overcome distractions of vehicles, people other dogs all in her stride.

Meg proved she had a great appetite for the game and collecting her cheese squares for a reward. With gentle handling and moral support from Andrea, Meg overcome some bigger obstacles on her trails. Firstly a covered walkway, which after only a few tries she had no issue with. The external stairs were harder to conquer, but when she reached the top it was celebrated like in the film "Rocky"

A big thanks goes out to a lovely local lady who brought along her German Shepherd to do a demonstration of each stage whilst also being a trail layer.

Thank you also to Sue Mouring for also laying trails, taking pictures and assisting on so many levels.

Great advice

👀 May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, but ticks are a year-round threat! Regularly
check your furry friend in hidden areas like under collars, between toes, and inside ears.

🦌⛰️ Living in an area so overly populated with deer means both us and our pets are at a higher risk of getting tick bites. There is so much information out there on how to protect ourselves & our dogs from ticks. Choose a strategy that you’re comfortable with maintaining and if you’re ever unsure of how to remove a tick or if it has left your pet showing signs of being unwell contact your vet immediately.

⚠️No tick prevention method is 100% effective so it's essential to combine multiple strategies for the best results.

⛑️“Tick bites can carry diseases, so it's important to remove them straight away. When removing a tick, make sure you don't squeeze the tick's body or leave the head in. If you squeeze its body or leave the head in, this can push blood back into your pet, which will increase the chance of them getting a disease.”

💕🐾 Let’s do everything we can to keep our dogs happy, healthy and pest free!

Early start for our Mantrailing in Ord Hill, Inverness.

We got to work on using the whole of the long line to help read the dog and to give them more freedom to make choices. We also used a targeted directional approach, once again to strengthen the decision making of the dogs and for the handlers to reduce influencing direction with "happy feet".

We had a rare appearance from Ocean, sadly no pictures of him trailing but happily back home in the garden.

Mantrailing continues to bring a smile to our faces, seeing the dogs reactions, I would say they totally agree.

Excellent work today by Hector, Milly, Jimmy and Ocean

10/05/2024

Ocean is coming on a rare trip with me tomorrow.

We are leaving the coastal waters of Gairloch and heading towards Inverness for a session of Highlands K9 Mantrailing adventures.

This will be the first time in a long while, surely he won't have forgotten how to find his trail layer...

If you and your dog fancy some quality time together solving the puzzle of trailing a hidden person, get involved with Highlands K9 Mantrailing or check out our future dates on https://highlandsk9mantrailing.co.uk/events-to-book

Well done Pip & Simon Flear winners today of the Kinlochewe Village Hall Fun Day

04/05/2024

Great fun at Kinlochewe Fun Day providing a demonstration. Great challenges for the teams, lots of distractions and plenty of fun.

Well done to Sprocket, Jimmy, Mya and Atlas doing a brilliant find of their trail layer.

Simon and Amanda brought along their new dog "Pip" who didn't do the Mantrailing but won the "Pet Parade"

After all the hectic fun, we went to Incheril and did an open space trail for the dogs, also a chance for Ariadne to show her stuff.

Heart felt thanks for the invitation from the organisers and last but not least the handlers, friends and relatives.
