That’s an Avoncroft wrap! I’ve lost track of the number of workshops we’ve done here over the past few months but what fantastic skills and teamwork we have seen across the board.

We’ll be releasing the next set of dates very soon.

I have a lot of photos on my phone. Shout if you’d like them of your dog.

We have arranged a regular Monday evening session at our School venue in Bromyard. It will be the second Monday of the month starting in September and will be a group general search session.
We are also hoping that we will be able to accommodate some focus trials at the same time.
We can’t wait!

Super last session at the prison, well done teams. September dates will be released soon.

01/07/2024

No phots I’m afraid (so here’s an old one of a handsome collie instead😊)
We gave an evening focus trial a go at one of our school venues, an Enhanced Interior focus.
2 fantastic searches set by Belinda and thanks Martin for keeping us all in line.

Search one was the large library room, corridor and adjoining classroom.
Search two was the theatre 🎭 room, walkthroughs and the packed music room.

Tiny Dawg also got to enter at the end running the 2 ten min searches pretty much back to back due to poor planning on my part 😬

Well done to everyone who had some great searches I believe and congratulations to Nikki & Cara who have staged up to Excellent 👏

28/06/2024

Any operational detection dog handlers that might be interested in some work as an extra for some filming?
Clip is to search the exterior of an ambulance as it drives in and it must be a spaniel.
Drop me a direct message to this page.

27/06/2024

Our workshops aren’t just about throwing hides out for teams to find.
We’re looking at strengthening existing skills, spotting any gaps and adding some extra tools in their kit bag for both dogs & handlers.
Super work today 👏

22/06/2024

Today I had the pleasure of being invited to run a search training day with Be Brilliant Dogs. What a great group of people all with a lovely relationship with their dogs.
Some super searching from teams across the day.
Thank you so much for having us Jen Smith

Pixel had her first Enhanced Stage Trial this week.
Two 10 minute searches and a 20 item selection test. I was really pleased with how she worked over the larger areas and her continued enthusiasm for the game.
Still learning alongside each other.

26/05/2024

We had our first Ace Tails Scentwork weekend this weekend. Thanks to everyone for making it so great. Not many dog pics I’m afraid 😅.
Definitely one to remember for so many reasons.

25/05/2024

This is how the weekends going so far…

Area searches, skills and problem solving. Teams worked with such enthusiasm 👊

Checked out C wing….. don’t like it…

What a treat having some time for some fun with both dogs today. Ok, it wasn’t blind searches and no one to coach us but hey, it’ll have to do! Building longer searches for the Tiny Dawg so she’s been searching for about 6/7 mins here. #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #malvern #papillonsofinstagram

Some different Nosework for Zigs today. 2 sections of a longer track - I might have been a bit ambitious with the log pile and nearly twisted an ankle 🥴 but Zigs followed the track beautifully. #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #malvern

Lovely Tilly Two Shoes. She took the Foundation Station on the road today, first time in a new venue. Our chance to have a look at her motivation to search, how she manages herself around a new space independently and what she does if the odour presents a little opportunity to problem solve. I delivered the reward for the finds while we continue to strengthen her indication so it gave her handler the chance to simply observe her in some blind searches. Super work Tilly. #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #scentwork #malvern

At this moment we all thought Ann had gone off to give the zip line a whirl! Luckily Kenzie, although a bit puzzled, stuck with the find 😊 Elite Mock NNA Trial #thenationalnoseworkassociation #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #malvern #scentwork #goldenretriever

Penny & Eli

It’s been a while since I’ve run any Train & Test ORT’s for the higher stages but will get some dates in the diary soon. This is one run of Eli & Penny’s Supreme Stage test - the 8th stage of the NNA’s Odour recognition test. Many Distractions Unknown numbers of hides Possible blank runs Odour presented in different ways No confirmation of finds from assessor Training the dogs and keeping confidence high on the ORTs is one of my favourite things. We don’t rush the foundations but it’s a lovely progressive piece of work for dog and handler to enjoy. #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #malvern #scentwork #thenationalnoseworkassociation #labradorretriever #blacklabrador

Back to basics

Pixel has done 4 trials since we started competing in January so back to basics for a few weeks and some fun planning how to move forward ready to play with the big paws in Enhanced! 😳 10 minute search areas, some extra distractions and some locked up hides. Eeeeeeekkk. A 5 min sniffing session with a small piece of one of her target odours today and a new notepad to plan what next! 📝 #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #malvern #scentwork #Papillon #thenationalnoseworkassociation

Some time off from classes this week.

A break from workshops this week so here’s a video of a bit of home training. End of a track for Zigs - goal was to see if he’d pick up the track across the rougher area rather than stay on one of the 3 way junction options at the top of the slope that have very heavy dog and human footfall. Learning as we go. End of a 3 min search for Pixel. Goal was to search away from ‘stuff’ and to build a bit of stamina. I lobbed a decent size piece of Kong out towards the end of the search. #acetailsscentwork #dogtraining #dogsport #nosework #bordercollie #scentwork #malvern #papillon

Luna

Lovely Luna is in my Foundation Station Class - such a delightful Setter girlie. She has often made me scratch around in the depths of my ‘trainers toolkit’ in an attempt to figure out how she likes to learn, how best to motivate and progress things with her. Today we asked a couple of questions from her and she rose to the challenge. Great Job Luna & Maggie. #acetailsscentwork #dogsport #nosework #scentwork #malvern #dogtraining #redsetter

The one that got away!

The one that got away. Here’s some of our 5 min search at our interior focus trial today - warts and all! I’ve spared you the whole video as a majority is just my backside in the frame, with back pockets full of stuff and no belt. I’m resembling a 90’s lad in his sagging jeans. Last bit of the video is the pesky hide we missed but it wasn’t for lack of trying on Pixel’s part.
