MTG Level 1: Absolutely smashed it ✅

On Saturday morning three teams joined me for their Level 1 assessment.

I couldn’t be prouder of these teams, I’ve had the pleasure of working with them from the very start! So it was extra special to see them achieve their first big milestone 🥰👏🏻

Coming soon to Sniff Happens! 👀

Mantrailing is a fast growing sport where we train dogs to follow human scent - think search and rescue, but for pet dogs! It’s a great outlet for the dogs, building confidence and providing mental stimulation that so many dogs so desperately need!

What’s even better is that it’s suitable for all dogs - yes, even the ✨spicy✨ ones. For many dogs it not just a sport, it’s the missing part of the puzzle.

This is exactly why I do what I do… The confidence scentwork has given these two has been SO good to watch.

I feel so lucky to a part of their journey ♥️

That’s a wrap for this block of Wednesday morning beginners 1-2-1’s! It’s been SO good to watch these guys fall in love with Scent Detection 🥰

They have all come on so much over the past 4 weeks! I’m super excited to welcome them back for their follow courses so that can continue to build on their foundations!

It’s been so special watching Dottie’s confidence grow

Scent detection is going to be such an important part of the Dottie’s behaviour plan as we start to build her confidence in the big wide world 🥰

I had a great catch up with team Jasper this afternoon. It’s fantastic to see the progression being made between sessions 🤩

During our session we:
✨ Ensured both humans on the team were being consistent with their cues and also their expectations.
✨ Slowed things down. Allowing Jasper time to spot distractions in his environment at a distance he can manage, so that he can make good choices.
✨ Continued to proof Jaspers training in new and exciting environments.

I’m so proud of this team! They are both so dedicated to Jaspers training!

Little Benzo is not so little any more 🥹♥️

It was so great to have a much needed catch up with this team. Benzo is finding the big wide world quite exciting, which is resulting in a lot of barking and a little bit of chaos! He is the sweetest boy, he just needs a little bit of guidance to help him work through his big feelings. We now have a plan in place! ☺️

Meet Casper 🥹♥️

I had the pleasure of meeting this little guy and his family for their introductory session this afternoon. He has only been home a few days but he is starting to settle in so well. His humans are taking things nice and slow, he really is in great hands.

I’m very much looking forward to supporting this team on their training journey!

This morning I headed to see Team Ned to check out our next search area, ready for our upcoming pop up session. I’m so excited to see the teams navigate some rather challenging search areas.

Ned searched beautifully today, he confidently working to source and is learning not to interfere with the target odour. We are gradually shaping a freeze indications ☺️👏🏻

A sneak peak of the search areas for our Halloween Spooktacular! 🦇

10 teams stepped up to the challenge this evening, 7 more are ready to go tomorrow!

It was so good to catch up with team Dumbo (previously Vinnie) yesterday. He is settling in SO well and is building a lovely relationship with his new family ♥️

This team are so dedicated. His engagement is coming along beautifully, as is his loose lead walking. What’s even more rewarding is that he is relaxing enough on his walks to slow down and take in all the sniffs.

4 Week Beginners Course Complete ✅

What a 4 weeks it has been! I could not be prouder! These teams have really developed their skills. Happy confident search dogs! 😍

Its been so rewarding to watch Edd and Tigga come out of their shells over the past 4 weeks ♥️

Tonight Edd and Tigga have done the last class of their beginners class with Emma at Sniff Happens The change in them in just 4 weeks has been phenomenal ❤️ Week 1 and they apprehensively went into the hall, without a clue what they needed to do. Week 4 they couldn't wait to get in, had a real understanding of what they needed to do and didn't want to come home tonight! They have gained so much confidence from their classes. Emma has made learning such fun for us all and we can't wait for their follow on class to start 😀

Primrose has a reason to smile! She absolutely smashed her session this morning 🤩

She was beautifully connected and making some great choices - Even when she is excited. This team has worked SO hard and I couldn’t be prouder! ♥️
