Great session tonight and we got finished before the rain started. Won't be long before we need our head torches

The challenges Kali, Ona and Davi over came tonight was finding the confidence to find and take food from trail layers they didn't know and trail past other dogs. All 3 were on fire and absolutely aced their trails

Team Clova as always aced the challenges set for them

Thanks to all

15/08/2024

Mantrailing dates for September will be up next week

I have a bit of time off in September as well as getting my teeth into UKSS so not as many dates as usual

I put a poll up to ask what you wanted with regards to your Mantrailing journey, the most popular suggestion was the shorter skills session so I'm going to be putting 2-3 off these on, lasting 2 hours and costing £18.

These skill sessions will be 1 short trail and a trail dedicated to your choice of skill, that you want to work on. Informing me before hand to plan will help these shorter sessions to work. Aged and longer trails will not be included in these short sessions

Those wanting to start their Trail ID can do this within these shorter skill sessions

If you have any questions with regards to these changes please don't hesitate to shout

15/08/2024

Some information on how I'm planning to offer the wonderful new scent sport that is UKSS
So far there are 2 taster sessions on offer , both fully booked. On the taster sessions there will be a chance to get a bite size taste of the 3 elements

Scent match
Trail ID
Catnip retrieve

Trail ID will be offered as part of my shorter skill sessions that will be on offer from September, these will be a 2 hour session and costs £18. Please note you must be on a scent article start to be able to take part in Trail ID

The catnip retrieve and scent match will be offered on a group class setting. You can choose which element that you want to work on for 4 weeks.

Scent match will be the 4 week Monday block 7-8 pm

Catnip retrieve will be the Sunday morning block
9 -10 AM

You will be added to a WhatsApp group for your choice of block and as always all relevant information required will be on there

Please contact me direct if you want to book a space on either of the 4 week classes

A very different session tonight litterally hassled to the extent we had to leave the location we were at, one we have used for years
So apologies to all on the session

Thankfully it didn't put any of the teams off as we moved to a different location and got on with the trails.

The dogs were excellent and their humans were not bad either

Well done

Harley & Jan
Benji, Niko & Laura
Davi & Lesley
Hazel and the Sas

Thank you for all being so patient and understanding

COVID has struck the Long Family, Aka Piper & Antis

There is one space available for the workshop on Sat the 10th Aug, can easily be just a normal progression session

Answers to some of the questions I've been asked about UKSS

🐾 Does my dog have to have done scent work before.
No previous experience required for scent match, Kong, or catnip retrieve. For trail ID your dog must be on a scent article starts.
Simple solution to this is either take up Mantrailing or join me for the Mini Mantrailing element of the UKSS

🐾 Do I have to take part in all 4 elements.
Absolutely not , do 1, do the 4 or do whatever element you and your dog enjoy

🐾 Is there a competition element
There is going to be one, BUT , you can either compete or not

🐾 How old does my dog need to be
6 months upwards, ALL senior dogs and humans WELCOME

🐾 Do we train indoors or out
At present outdoors, I'm on the hunt for a venue and will offer both indoors and outdoor classes

🐾 Can my reactive dog take part
Those who know me will know of my passion to include nervous and anxious dogs. If your dog can feel safe from a distance then they can take part, especially in the outdoor fields. The indoor venues will be more challenging for some dogs, for those dogs I'm going to run classes where the dogs will be worked 1 at a time. I will also be offering 121's

🐾 How long will the classes run
At present the taster sessions are 1.5 hours, the classes will be 45 minutes, working on individual elements, so a class for catnip retrieve and another for scent match
Trail ID will be included in my monthly skills sessions, so a 2 hour session working specifically on Trail ID

🐾When are you going to start on the Kong element
This is the element I myself is the least experienced in. So I'm working away in the background with my 2 dogs. So itl happen at some point

🐾Will I be assessed on the elements
Only if you want to, there are 5 different levels to each element and that's just league 1, there's many more leagues to come

🐾Can I practice this at home
You absolutely can, why just have fun in the classes

🐾 What is the cost
The cost will vary from taster sessions to 4 week classes, 6 week classes, assessment classes and Trail ID sessions

Please have a read blow

Every dog wanting to take part after the taster session must register

Any more questions please add onto this post 😁

To participate in assessments or competitions, you will need to register your dog and receive a UK Scent Sport ID number. Click below to register your dog

Today I would like you all to send all our love to the family of Wilson the 5 and half year old Shepherd, he collapsed at the weekend and couldn't be revised

Wilson known as Big W***y was looked after 4 days a week by my friend Jackie, he joined me and my teams on our dog walks, 4 days a week

I've known this boy since he was weeks old, he attended all my classes and my forrest walks, he was a beautiful soul inside and out.

He was Flo's number one choice when she was in season and scared the life out of him as she tried to seduce him.

We knew Wilson wouldn't be here forever, he unfortunately came from a breeder, who let's just say wasn't the best.
He had springy legs and flat feet, we often joked he would never have got into the Police

It's absolutely devastating to lose such a young dog, he should have had so many years ahead of him

Our love and thoughts go to Janice his Mum and Jackie his number 2 mum

Stand down Wilson your job here is done 💔

Introduction to Mantrailing Sunday the 18th of August Based in Lennoxtown 3 spaces available

We talk about the whip lash moment your dog picks up the scent This slow mo of Lexa is a cracking example of it Even at the speed she was going at she caught the scent and immediately turned to follow where she knew it be

A big thank you to Pipers mum Lisa for my wonderful box of cakes and Phil will really appreciate the bell 🤣 Signing out of the office for a few days , will see you ,I hope , on the other side

Our Story

I currently run 2 courses with in a hall setting -

Monday class is for puppies from 12 weeks old - 6 months, for this course we will discuss the training techniques, your puppies critical development stages, how to establish a routine, feeding, toileting and all the issues that comes with having a new puppy. We will also look and some of the more serious issues like preventing separation anxiety and resource guarding. The course will run for 6 weeks at 7-8pm, This course cost £70

Wednesday class is for junior dogs from 6 months - 1 year, this is a follow on course for those who attend our puppy class, but is not a requirement. This course will run with 4 weeks training in the hall environment and 2 weeks out in the real world, learning manners and life skills, focusing on loose lead walking, recall , working on impulse control in areas such as door entry, staying safely in your car until given a release cue and some tricks to help learn how to focus and listen. This course runs for 6 weeks, with 4 weeks in the hall and 2 weeks out in the real world, class is on at 7-8 pm and costs £70

I offer 1-1 training sessions, I will do an assessment on our first meeting and with owners input a plan of action will be put in place to help with your dogs individual needs. These sessions will be individually priced and agreed at the time of assessment

I offer a variety of forrest walks that vary in the length of time and and abilities. I use reward based training methods to teach you how to motivate your puppy with positive reinforcement, in a relaxed and fun environment. I will help you to gain the skills needed to train your puppy to learn their name, give you eye contact and focus, this is the core to all training. You will also teach the sit, down, loose lead walking, how to get your puppy to come back to you and how to prevent your puppy jumping up on you and other people as well as how to greet other dogs in a safe and controlled manner. We will also teach your puppy to settle on a mat and some fun tricks. The course will be taken by myself Charlotte Craig, with help from my two volunteer assistants I have my own pet service business, visit my page at Charlotte's Pet Services. I have a Diploma in Canine Behaviour & Psychology, with distinction. I am a qualified dog trainer with the IMDT, institute of modern dog trainers. In 2017 I attended a puppy rescue course in Malaga and in 2018 i went back to Malaga and spent the week there training with more rescue dogs, this is were i gained my training qualification with the IMDT

As part of my pet service business I offer puppy packages for pups from 8 weeks old, working closely with families to establish a routine to suit their lifestyle, using reward based methods as well as offering advice and guidance on everything from toilet training, diet and how to teach their new addition to sleep through the night.

I am a dog walker , walking small groups of dogs 5/6 days a week, walking different groups of dogs twice per day

I regularly offer 1-1 training, for any age group, to help to over come any behaviour issues they may have.

I have worked very closely with some rescue dogs, helping them over come behavioural issues and most importantly helping some of them become part of the groups that I walk, learning social skills enabling them to become part of the gang. If you would like to give the new addition in your life the best possible start or help your junior dog become more focused, do you have a rescue dog that needs help to settle into their new home or is worried, frightened or reactive to people and/or dogs please give me a call, message me here on my page or email me.
