No mantrailing for a couple of weekends - we're on holiday in beautiful Northumberland. The journey was a bit scary but it was worth it!

21/11/2024

This afternoon I met the lovely Kevin for an introduction session.

He was a natural and his mum was brilliant at reading his body language. As with all beginners there's plenty to work on - especially the tricky line handling skills.

Enjoy the snow and watch your dogs closely!

It's a great opportunity to see them using scent and following footprints. Human, dog, or something else? 🐿🦔🐦‍⬛

Yesterday's trails in Clifton, Nottingham.

We had some walking trees, a low hide, and some obvious trail layers (not hidden).

16/11/2024

Today I'm hiding from dogs 😁

09/11/2024

Some very good hiding today, the dogs were definitely using their noses and not getting many visual clues. All dogs had a gate to navigate and handlers the extra challenge of not tripping over tree roots hidden under leaves.

03/11/2024

Our teams this morning tackled busy urban trails and back-tracks. The dogs were incredible and some handlers made breakthroughs with some tricky handling skills.

This morning I got to trail with my own dog 😊 Thanks to K9K8 Mantrailing.

A few photos from this morning. Some of our challenges were camouflaged trail layers, raised scent articles and trying not to influence direction of start. All great things for confidence building.

This place has now been taken.

Last minute place available 🐕🌲 as one of our teams unfortunately had to cancel for this Saturday:

Bertie did his first scent article start and Millie her first car door handle start 😁🐕

I've not read the PDF yet, but if I know Kathryn this will be really useful and interesting (and it's free - hurrah)! 😊😊😊

Mantrailing is a fun and exciting way to get your dog some exercise and mental stimulation. It’s also a great way to bond with your furry friend. Teach your dog new skills and have some fun.

Lovely autumn trails, we had one trail layer bravely hiding in a ditch (it was dry, I'm not that cruel 🤣).

Lots of distractions today, from other dog walkers, traffic, horses and even canicross teams whizzing past. The dogs coped brilliantly and got to practice their "wait".

No mantrailing last weekend because we had a lovely weekend away. This photo was taken before we climbed the many steps at Malham Cove.

What does your dog find most rewarding?

Most dogs like a tub of yummy, stinky food as their reward, but some dogs prefer a toy to carry, game of tug or bubbles to catch - maybe even a combination of rewards.

Whatever you use it's always worth thinking about whether your rewards can be improved.

My favourite trail from last week with my dog, Bertie - with Smart K9s

Today we went to a Mad About Mantrailing event, to meet up with other mantrailing addicts to trail our own dogs. Here's one of Bertie's trails. Thank you Linda Newbold and Kev for hosting the event and Jamie Wadsworth and Judith for setting some great trails for Bertie and me.

New Trailing Achievement Badges and Trail Layer Badges logbooks! The books are designed to give you little wins along your mantrailing journey and make sure all training elements are covered. When you've completed all elements you can get a badge to mark your achievement. The logbooks also cover trail layer skills so are a two-in-one book. Any instructors can sign off the new logbooks and there are a few instructors who will have badges available apart from me (and hopefully more will begin to stock them), I'll post links to their pages in the comments below. I have the new logbooks available for £5, badges will be £3 each. I'll have logbooks with me on my sessions, please bring cash and ask on the day if you'd like one.

I got sent this great video of one of the mantrailing regulars keeping cool at the beach ⛱️ 🐕 What are your dogs doing in this hot weather?

I thought you might enjoy a laugh at my expense. We had to go along a very brambly path and my leg got snagged and over I went. Bertie was sweet and came back to check on me, had a wee, then got back to work 🤣

The moment when Ziggy finds his trail layer in a "moat". Mik ended up covered in wet dog food 🤣

Watch for Maja's head popping into view 🤣

Here's Bertie's trail from last weekend...

It had to happen sooner or later - I tripped myself up today 🤣

A few clips from yesterday 😁

Yesterday I took my dog, Bertie, mantrailing with TPL Trail and Find (thank you Trish). This was the first time using the GoPro for my own dog and I need to adjust the angle a bit. You'll see him start looking up and "squirrelling" just before we pass the person, I gave him one "work on" and he did. Then he turns left, gives a lovely negative and takes the right path to find his trail layer.
