**More Scent Detection Recrutes!**
Well done Sonny, Lilly and family’s, great work today! 🌟 and Tiki who couldn’t make it today 🦮
In 4 weeks the dogs have learnt to search for and find pieces of Kong just mm big. Great handling and reading of the dogs body language from all the handlers, absolutly fantastic 😀🐶😀
Trail Hunt International week 3 - multi surface trails.
Starting with my favorate exercise….line handling 😂
Then working the dogs on the long lines over multi surfaces…the scent will hold/ move/ smell different over hard and soft surfaces.
We are not expecting the dogs to “follow the trail exactly” we do not know how the scent has moved in the environment or over different surfaces, the dogs need to “find” the end pod. It’s interesting to see the different routes the dogs will take to find the pods using skills and senses we do not have or completely understand….incredible though 🦮💙🦮
*Novel environment searches*
Now our dogs know what they are searching for and how to search we teach them hides could be anywhere ,….. 😀🐶😀
Arther did some fantastic work In Trail Hunt International class last night.
We worked on increasing drive and learning to follow the scent trail and turns in the trail.
He was a super 🌟🌟🌟💙🐾
Early morning training before 🌞🌞
With a good scent ID (the dogs know what they are searching for), today we taught them to search.
They learnt to search all around as well as high and low on objects.
They could be asked to search on anything from chairs to cones to boxes and finally over the vehicles.
Great work everyone 😀🐶😀
** More Trail Hunt International recrutes **
First session teaching the dogs scent ID (what they are following) and by following that smell they get their reward 😀
All our training is reward based, we teach the dogs by slowly building up the activity making everything positive. Dogs love learning and pleasing, by setting them up in a positive way so they don’t fail and rewarding the behaviours, increases drive and the dogs enthusiasm to do the task 🐾🦮🐾
** Continuation Trail Hunt International **
These two fab Trail Hunters did some great work “eliminating human odour” making sure they are following the odour trail and not human scent. Great Work!! 🐾🦮🐾

Trail Hunt is a mix of tracking and trailing, we teach the dogs to follow an aniseed scent. It is great to tire out energetic dogs but can also be practiced in any space and by yourself (unlike tracking or trailing where you need an unused sauce or a second person).

Exciting NEW sport coming HERE SOON! 🐾🌟Trail Hunting for pet dogs🌟🐾 Suitable for all dogs. A cross between tracking and trailing. Easy to do with just yourself and your dog (no need for extra missing persons like trailing or risk of contamination like in tracking) so a really easy activity to practice. Dogs follow a specific aniseed scent…. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR CLASSES comming soon…,,,,,,,!!! 🙀😀🙀
🌟As dogs develope their sniffing skills they build up their muscles on either side of their nose❤️🐾❤️🌟
🏆 Arfer came second in a level two scent detection trial today 😀🏆 Scentwork is great for any dog of any age. Arf is 11 years old, he’s only been doing scent detection for a year. He has severe elbow dysplacia and so can’t walk very far (he’s on plenty of meds and therapies and is quite happy). He loves scent detection, look at his tail! It’s a great way of spending time playing with a less mobile dog (without a ball!) And will mentally tire them out (he’s currently happily curled up On the sofa). A dog can learn new skills at any age 😀 He’s had a great day 😀🐾😀
