Mantrailing with Doggie Explorers (Private group)

22/04/2025

It was long trail night this evening working the town & residential areas for our 4 teams.

Teams Ernie, Kiri, Flynn & Riley all done an amazing job working their long complex trails 🌟 which not only offered different terrains, multiple junctions and alleyways to work through, it gave them lots to think about on their trails including blown scent, wind tunnels, lots of distractions including a fox that made an appearance 🦊

All dogs then went onto smash their second trails which were shorter fun trails, but still gave the dogs something to think about and problem solve. They all done a great job at ignoring the previous contamination that went across their trails 💪 and focusing on where the correct fresh scent trail actually went 💙

Did you know only 20 minutes of scentwork is the equivalent to an hours walk!

All that sniffing is super tiring for dogs and is a great form of mental stimulation. So why not add scentwork into your dogs life and see the benefits for yourself. Instead of walking them for longer and longer periods which in turn will only make them fitter, practically turning your dog into an athlete. Why not get into a dog sport not only you and your dog will love! But will tire their mind 🧠 and fulfil their natural instinct.

Here at Doggie Explorers we are mostly known for our Mantrailing services, but we also offer Tracking & Scent detection. All 3 sports are great for all dogs, allowing them to use their amazing sense of smell.

A lovely evening mantrailing in the woods 😎

Kiri, Barney and Lucy were on top form this evening working perfectly through their trails 💙 none of the dogs put a single paw wrong and their problem solving skills were on point too 😁
Kiri and Barney took the speedy approach this evening whilst Lucy took the slightly more laid back approach but they were all on watch for the little fluffy distractions in the woods 😂

Happy Easter everyone 🐣🐰 We hope your all having a great bank holiday weekend!

Of course it wouldnt be the same without the usual morning of mantrailing.

Martha was out first and was a little slow to get going, she was very distracted by all the smells in the environment and she was also looking for the perfect toilet spot. Once she had been to the toilet she had regained her focus and trailed fantasticly to her trail layer with clear body language the rest of the trail 👏 For her second trail she was much more focused on the task at hand working more accurately on the trail and was lovely to watch 💪

Ebony was back out this morning for her first session since completing her introduction with us a few weeks ago. She was still as enthusiastic as we remembered 😂 and done great at her hunting trails going to find her dad. Shes a sweet girl who likes to talk to you about what shes doing the whole trail 😂 For her second trail she done so well we gave her a short scent article start and tweaked a couple of things to get her out much calmer which she done great at and it certainly paid off 🌟 Her handler is also doing well at getting her to move on past some distractions whilst she is trailing that she finds super intresting, especially birds 🦆 and with some repeated praise for moving on Ebony soon started to ignore some of them 👌

Buzz & Chester came out to play this evening 😁

Buzz & Chester both worked their first trails off a transfer to a wooden post this evening, both dogs done a great job taking scent, working their trails acurately with lots of motivation behind them and showing really clear body language 💪 Handlers done a great job understanding what and why was causing scent to be blown towards the vegetation edges and why their dogs gave lovely head snaps looking into the bushes as they got close to their trail layer 👏

Both dogs were spot on also with their second trails, doing a great job working the lower ground with a softer surface. Their handlers done a great job avoiding tangeled lines around the many trees on route into the off roading part of the woods where the paths arent so obvious 👌

Two teams out this morning for some mantrailing fun 😁

Lizzie was back out this morning, first time after she completed her introduction with us a month ago. She was very eager to say the least to get going and definately knew what she was here for 😂 She did so well on her first trail that for her second trail she done her first ever scent article start and had no issues at all, what a little superstar! 🌟

Whisper came out to play next and as always very methodical in his trailing checking every junction as he goes 💪 He done a great job on both of his trails today even though he was a little reluctant to take scent.

18/04/2025

4 teams took on super long trails through the woods this evening on our long trail session 😁

Teams Pearl, Chester, Ernie & Stirling all completed just under a mile long tough trail (1.5k) for their first trails! 😯 They all done a fantastic job navigating their way through numerous junctions & road crosses, making easy work of their trails 💪

We ended the evening on some shorter fun trails. Were sure everyone will sleep well tonight 😴 😂 Great work from everyone 👏

3 teams this evening mantrailing in the woods 😊

Kiri was up first and smashed her mock assessment on her first trail 💪 She had no issues at all working her junctions bringing herself back when needed after checking out some possible routes and quickly displaying some lovely negatives. For her second trail Kiri found 5th gear 😂 and trailed like a rocket to her trail layer, not even wanting to stop for a quick water intake from mum as her mind what soley focused on finding her trail layer with her food! 😂

Lucy was out next. She started off with a nice steady pace and followed scent down a path which was parallel to the path that had the scent trail on due to the wind causing scent to be blown in that direction. Her handler picked up on the differences as soon as we moved over onto the actual scent trail when she got a more confidence pull on the line and a lot more nose down work 👏 When Lucy wasnt too far away from her trail layer she had the added temptation of deer she had suddenly spotted, but chose to carry on with the job at hand instead of hunting 🌟

Last out this evening was Chilly the hungarian vizla. Chilly worked both his trails very well this evening 👌 He used the gullies in the woods and the craters where they have been logging to his advantage where the scent would be sitting and gave some beautiful air scenting when off roading through the woods to find the path the other side 💙 We noticed when Chilly looses the scent trail he gives lovely clear head up body language and slows himself right down where he then starts to look for the trail again, his handler done a great job bringing him back when needed and he soon picked up the scent trail 👏

4 teams took on the woods this evening 😊

Barney was out first at full speed ahead, working quickly but accurately on his trails this evening 👌 Barney had a couple of moments where he spotted a quick glimpse of a squrriel but managed to stick to trailing over crittering 👏

Otta & Rye shared a space this evening. Otta was out first and was spot on this evening 💪 Otta didnt put a paw wrong and was very happy with himself wrigglying his bum as he went 💙 Rye done super well also this evening, with no hesitation at any of his junctions, he wasnt stopping for anyone 😂

Next out was Biscuit, he started off a little slow this evening first taking in all the smells in the environment but soon got going. He checked out some directions at junctions as he went but quickly made decisons on which was the right way to go and worked the rest of the trail amazingly 🌟

Last out this evening was big boy Theo. He aced both his trails this evening with no issues at all👌His mum is really understanding his body language on the trails and what he is displaying at certain points on the trail, very well done 👏

13/04/2025

Buzz & Ernie worked the town and residential areas this morning.

Buzz came out very over excited and eager to get going on his first trail. He was distracted by all the things going on around him but he done a great job moving on and focusing on finding his trail layer 👌 For Buzz's second trail he took scent well from a transfer onto a brick wall and Buzz was a lot more settled and was more focused problem solving his way through his trail 💪

Ernie trailed very well on both his trails this morning, he too also had a transfer onto a brick wall for his second trail and had no issues taking scent 🌟 It seemed he saved all his energy for his second trail showing more erratic behaviours as he went and his handler done a great job holding onto mr crazy 😂

12/04/2025

Back out this evening for some more mantrailing 😁

Kiri was out first working the big open field, she stopped a couple of times at some intresting smells along the way but carried on working as she went. She worked the open field area very well despite this👌She then gave a lovely road cross indication where she then worked the residential area with no issues. For her second trail she was spot on with her trailing through the residential area 👏 She did stop when she spotted a cat but carried on with the task at hand 🌟

Chester was out next also working the same trails as Kiri. Chester was very eager to get going this evening and full of motivation 💪 Chester aced both his trails working very well past some dog distractions and totally focused in on finding his trail layer with his treats 💙He then enjoyed a nice game of tug to end his trail 👏

What a beautiful morning 😎🌞

New boy Jimmy came for his first taste of mantrailing this morning. He picked up the game ever so quickly. He needed some encouragement from mum just to get a bit closer to his trail layer to start off with as he wasnt sure on the werid person hiding in a bush, but with lots of praise and repetition of the good stuff 😂, he soon realised how great this fun game was and he soon picked up speed showing some good eagerness to head off again 🌟 By trail two you could see a big difference in progress already, such a great job!

Riley was out next, a little slow at first when heading off from the start off the trail but soon picked up the pace as she got going 💪 She worked the big open space fantastically and there was no stopping her once she knew she was close to her trail layer 👌 For Riley's second trail she had no problems taking a transfer scent from a tree and dealt very well working past lots of distractions.

Next out was Lola, Lola worked her trail very well with no issues. Her handler is showing some lovely understanding of being able to tell when she is hunting vs being on the trail 👏 For her second trail Lola short cutted some of the trail through the car park but was showing lots of confidence she was happy to go a certain way, with some wind causing scent to be blown a different direction her handler trusted what Lola was telling her and rightly so 💖

Last out was Alfie and as always super keen to get going. He breezed through his trail full of confidence this morning 🌟 He did overshoot one junction slightly by going super speedy but he did turn himself back around after realising it wasnt that way. And his handler managed to slow him down as much as she could 😂 for the rest of the trail which helped him think clearer at junctions 👏 Alfie then went onto ace his second trail and wasnt at all fussed by lots of distractions on the trail.
