BIG news tonight, you won't want to miss it..oh what could it be?

25/09/2024

Oscar and Heidi were both busy in their TrackStars one to ones this last week.
Oscar hasn't really done much tracking for a long while, but was soon back in the swing of it and tracking more confidently than ever, and is now well on his way towards his first Title. James, Oscars handler, did an excellent job of letting Oscar work things out for himself,and not second guesssing where the track might go.

Heidi is totally new to Tracking and this was her first ever session. Working with her handler Kat, they were soon picking up the foundations and managed some brilliant tracking and teamwork with lots of distractions around them.

Well done everyone, brilliant work!

Massive news!!
We’ve decided it’s time to take our TrackStars scheme on the road 🤘🤘💥

🐾TrackStars for those who
don’t know, is Scent and Track UK’s awesome Tracking and Trailing scheme, where you can earn Titles and badges for your dogs. This scheme has been specially developed to be fun and supportive, and designed to be flexible enough that you can train and progress at your own pace, without losing previous progress. Video submissions are allowed for 2 out of 3 of your qualifying title tracks,so you’re not reliant on assessment days only.

There’s so many choices of badges and titles that you can work towards, from the TrackStars TS1, TS2 and TS3 titles, to the urban tracker, all terrain tracker, distance badges and many more 🎖🏆🏅🎉

Tracking is a great activity that taps into our dogs natural desire to hunt and explore, and is fantastic for strengthening our bond with our dog and building confidence 🥰🐕🐾

We love running our workshops and groups here in Huddersfield, but we feel like everyone else is missing out🤩.

TrackStars is written and run by Jemma Whitford, Co-Founder and lead coach at Scent and Track UK. Jemma has an FdSc in canine behaviour and training, extensive experience working in rescue, runs a successful dog training and behaviour business (Ruffmutz training and Behaviour),assists with running lost dog tracking training courses and sessions,and along with her rescue dog,Jenga, has been operational member of the North K9 lost dog tracking team for the last four years.

We have a huge passion for tracking🤩, and for helping owners get that same buzz we get every time we’re fortunate enough to track and work with our dogs. That feeling of absolute amazement and awe when we see what our dogs are truly capable of - That is what
TrackStars is all about.🚀⚡️

So, if you’d like us to come and run a group for you🚗, wherever you are in the UK, and get you and your group on your TrackStars journey, get in touch now.🔥🔥

See the website for more information on TrackStars, and the 2024 rules and regs.

If you’re local to us and want to give it a try with your dog, we have another 2 part intro workshop running in September.

Road trip!! 🤣🤣🚀

❤️‍🔥 Scent Camp 2024, That’s a wrap ❤️‍🔥

Where to start!! Jemma and Claire have a vision to create an event where dog people can get together to train, try new activities, enjoy their dog for several days without interruption and enjoy some social time with other like minded people, this is the second year of running scent camp and it’s been better than we could’ve imagined 😍

More than double the number of handlers from last year, guest instructors, theory sessions and an extra day…..we had dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds and they have all been super stars 🌟
People came from all over the UK!

We would like to extend our thanks to each and everyone of our participants and spectators for being amazing and throwing yourselves into learning 🎉

Thank you to The Venue Huddersfield for the excellent food, venue and hospitality 🤩
Thank you to Diane from KONG for her fun and informative talk on a Friday, Kelsey from Poochandponies photography for her amazing work, Zoe from Fit-Pet Physio and Leanne from for their sessions on Saturday and to Kat from Canine Detection Solutions for her sessions today 👊🏻🥳😍

We will shortly be announcing the dates for 2025 do you can save them! We will be recovering for the next couple of days 😂😂

Scent Camp 2024….smashed it mate 👊🏻☕️🐾💜

01/06/2024

What a day 1 at Scent Camp 2024 😎🥳

We had an awesome morning of tracking, the dogs were amazing and all of them worked so well, we have a great mix of dogs and they range in experience from completely new to tracking to operational dogs, each one smashing it 🤩

We had a theory afternoon, starting with a brilliant presentation from Diane, who is the UK Kong Ambassador. Diane gave us an awesome presentation all about KONG from its first manufacture, its versatility, how it can help with behaviour issues and why it's commonly used in scent detection today. Huge thanks to Kong for the goodies and to Diane for the talk 😍

Claire followed this with a “get you thinking” presentation about the jigsaw puzzle which is relationship, looking at the 5 main areas that build it and how we can develop it 🎉

We can’t wait for today 🥳🐾🥳🐾
