If I got a new puppy tomorrow I would do everything so differently!
Experienced owners: put your best tip below.
New owners: read through and pick up some great advice from people who have been there, done that!

I'll start: make sure you get used to handling your puppy's feet, ears, and mouth; starting from the very first day they come home! You will save your dog so much stress and anxiety if they ever need medical treatment in those places in the future.

Riker turned his paw to Trail Hunt this afternoon! Conditions were perfect and he used his natural shepherd talent to absolutely smash the exercises. He will be one to watch for sure! 🧡

We had Olly in to begin his Trail Hunt journey this evening! His enthusiasm was off the CHARTS. This guy took to THI like it was second nature. I can’t wait to see him progress onto the longer trails!

In case you were wondering: Can muzzled dogs participate in Trail Hunt International?

Yes! Absolutely. It doesn’t slow them down one bit. Look forward to seeing you again Olly!

Skybound's resident trail dog Woodbine having fun with Trail Hunt yesterday evening!

Could Trail Hunt benefit your dog? Let's talk about it!

This is a dog's eye view of a 30 metre trail.
Woodbine starts out very confident. Once the initial zoomies are finished he now has to think about what he is doing. He begins to zigzag, methodically checking his environment for scent. The pod is actually off the path, so Woodbine has to stray into unfamiliar territory.
You can see him doubling back on himself as he catches a whiff of the pod! His sniffing gets more intense and more frantic as he closes in.

Success!

One of Woodbine's quirks is that he likes to crunch the scent pod in excitement, which you can hear him doing as he parades around in his glory. At the end of the video he is bouncing with happiness, because he knows I'm about to lay another trail for him!

Some of the benefits that I've noticed now that we've been trail hunting together a good while.

⭐️ Increased enthusiasm for walks

⭐️ Much more handler focus around strange dogs and people

⭐️ Calmer in the home

⭐️ Less frustration when training other things

If you have a bit of a wild child, a reactive or frustrated dog, or even just a dog that needs a job... Trail Hunt could be for you! Put that nose to good use and strengthen your bond.

Book now at www.skyboundk9.com ❤️🧡💛
