Foundations. The title of the song playing. 📻 Very appropriate as Sundays Mantrailing would not have been so successful if the handlers hadn’t let their Dogs develop their foundations at a steady pace. Patience has been their test and they passed with flying colours. Well done, Teams! #mantrailing #snifferdogs #dogtrainer #wiltshiredogtrainer #malmesburylife #wiltshiredogsofinstagram #dogtrainingadvice #wiltshiremums
Despite heart and joint issues, He’s made it. Hoping we have many more years too 🥰. He’s had fuss, fun games and he still thinks he’s a lapdog! 🐾

💡What is Mantrailing we hear you ask!
Mantrailing is a scent-based dog sport, training dogs to find people by following their unique scent alone.
As well as providing physical exercise, Mantrailing also engages your dog's incredible olfactory system, giving them an intense mental workout. It really is mindfulness for Dogs. Promotes Calm, massively increases optimism, builds Focus, disengages from the surroundings, brings arousal down, and aids impulse control.
It is suitable for all dogs.
Want to try it for yourself?
Your pawsitive step into Mantrailing starts with an Introduction Workshop. Check our website for next available dates.

This is a 9 month old Puppy on his 4th session of Mantrailing. He has the drive and determination. As handlers, we look to work on helping them become steady whilst keeping that optimism. Line handling is key!
What an Mantrailing Introduction Session! 🐾🥾🟰🙌🏼🥇I am in total awe of how quickly, smoothly and progressively the Handlers and Dogs did today… and every day I see my Students and/or colleagues Trail. It really is a wonder to let Dogs be Dogs and have the optimism to work as a real team with you 🥰🙌🏼🎉 This is a 9mth old puppy on his second trail of the day. Nailed it 👍🏻
Does your dog find the environment more appealing than staying with you on walks? Got a teenage dog who has gone selectively deaf?! 😉
Come along to my AdoleSENSE or Recall group classes to bring the focus back to you, the disengagement from that noise, smell or movement, the desire to want to be with you and the self control to think when the excitement is building!
The AdoleSENSE Classes are suitable for dogs from 5 months to 2 years. The Recall and Retrieve class is suitable for all ages! All bookable via my website : https://www.apawsitivestep.co.uk
See how 5 month old Atlas is working with three other dogs in the room but finds Mum really great fun to be with and listen to!
👍🏻🙌🏼🦴
