Celyn’s first certificate with Afan Adventure Dog mantrailing.
It’s such great fun!
Mantrailing is great 🤩, really fun!
It’s particularly good for dogs that lack confidence.
I gotta say though, I’m not a fan of Frekki’s tomato sardines 🤢.
Great advice!
Puppies are not clean slates !
You often hear people say 'get a puppy they are a clean slate'
As a behaviourist and breeder I can confidently tell you this is not true. Both nature and nurture has a huge impact.
A puppy will inherit genes from its parents and these genes will impact the puppies genetic potential to behave in a particular way.
Such as :
Using aggression as a strategy to deal with difficult situations
Sociability towards people and dogs
Fearful responses
Sound sensitivity
Strong instinctive behaviour to hunt, chase, grab, hold and guard.
Trainability which includes the ability to learn self control as humans desire it.
When people breed dogs they sometimes select for specific traits and sometimes not. If someone is breeding for a particular look, colour or just money then these traits can become altered becoming stronger or weaker or unbalanced. This can make a dog dangerous for example breeding a dog with gameness and reducing human sociability.
Then the puppy is born and the first 8 weeks learning with the breeder will have an huge impact on the development of all these genetic traits.
My five puppies have all come from the same parents and been reared in the same environment. They have very individual personalities. The training and socialisation they receive in their new homes will only influence the genes and first learning, it won't change their personalities.
So if you are looking for a puppy
Firstly learn about breed traits and instincts and make sure you pick a puppy that will suit your lifestyle. For example there no point getting a breed that is 'aloof with strangers' if you have 3 young children and lots of friends visiting.
Secondly meet the parents or (genes), see what they are like. Make sure you are meeting the actual parents, some people buy in puppy farmed litters and then 'hire' an adult of the same breed to pretend the puppies were bred there!!
Thirdly make sure the puppy has had plenty of early neurological stimulation and learning before it leaves the litter. Ask these questions.
1) What have the puppies seen?
2) Who and what have they met?
2) What have they learnt?
3) How have they learned to play?
4) What do they do if they get frustrated?
5) What do they do if they get bored?
A professional trainer can help support and guide you on the process of looking for a puppy. Don't wait till afterwards for help.
Prevention IS better than Cure. This goes for training and socialisation too, get a professional to help and guide you.
Puppies are building neural pathways with every experience, every day, make sure they're building ones you like.
First Learning is the strongest, make sure you get it right first time.

Introduction to Mantrailing
Need a name for this toy 😍.
It was a present from a lovely neighbour. Co-incidentally, the neighbour, I found out was instrumental in driving forward applied behaviour analysis in the 80s, taught rats tricks as part of his research, incorporated “clicker training” and has since become an expert in learning and behaviour and autism, amongst loads of other things.
The toy squeaks if that’s any help.
I like to name toys so that I can say “where’s ” and a get a cute head tilt (Mucky Pup Photography, you know) while she’s thinking and then she’ll find it.
Barkour, anyone? 🐶🥰
Taken in Clyne Woods. The photo doesn’t do it justice. It was big and bright orange - almost fluorescent!
Possible chicken of the woods?
Guesses for the breed of this gorgeous 4 month old pup?
Chicken loose in Clyne Woods, just above the car park at the top of Mill Lane.
It went into the brambles, we couldn’t catch it. I’m pretty sure that there aren’t any chickens kept locally. Maybe it’s been abandoned. I’ll go back tomorrow morning and see if I can see it, but I don’t hold out much hope ☹️.
Please share, just in case it’s an escapee.
To all of my clients I introduce the fact that diet plays a huge part in behaviour.
It’s really difficult with dogs. We think we’re giving them the best diet because we’re feeding them the best known brands.
Should you feed biscuits, or wet food, or human food or raw food??
No judgment, what do you feed your dog and why?
It’s been very smelly in the kitchen today what with venison heart treats cooking in the dehydrator! 🦌
As some of you may know we’ve struggled for a long time with Reds nutritional needs which when out of balance cause havoc with his gut, pain tolerance and ability to learn, and therefore his behaviour.
Good nutrition and gut health plays a vital role in our dogs overall wellbeing.
Don’t want to speak too soon but I think we may have found something he can tolerate 🤞
Workshops for owners of reactive dogs. I highly recommend.
Workshop for dog owners!
these workshops have had 5 Star reviews from owners who have left feeling empowered and excited to train their dogs!
It’s coming up to a year since Dyfri passed. I miss her every day.
I’m so glad that I had photos done withMucky Pup Photography.
This was the one that I chose.
Sarah took loads of pictures and she was so patient.
Dyfri at the time was quite old and a bit cantankerous. Sarah took that in her stride and took lovely photos 🥰.
I’ve had studio and location shoots of my dogs, and they’re brilliant photos.
Missing in Mumbles. A nervous dog. Please share and comment on the original post.
Celyn enjoyed her mantrailing session this afternoon. She’s very tired now 😀.
This is her 5th session and she had a lightbulb moment in the last session, where we could see that she was actively following the scent to where it ended and readjusting to find the trail again.
It was her first time in an urban environment and she smashed her first walking ID, which is where the misper is walking around, rather than hiding.
Go Celyn! 🐶👃🏻🥰
Found in Clyne Woods. I think it belongs to a mountain biker.
Wow, look at these!
Delivering a powerful message. Personality and looks aren’t a precursor for aggression.
What’s the difference between racism in people and what I call breedism in dogs??
It’s judging based on bias and looks, rather than personality, background, education and a whole lot of other positive traits that a dog and a person has.
Let’s be more educated and more open minded. Let’s judge people and dogs on their personality and not their looks.
What do you think?
Have you been discriminated against?

Celyn and I had a blast at mantrailing today. It was our fourth session and Celyn really got it. Very proud of her 🥰🐾
Barkour anyone? I’ve introduced it to my private puppy clients in Clyne Gardens, but Afan Adventure Dog can take you a step further.
It’s great for fearful and excitable dogs as it gives you a way to ground them and also to build confidence 🥰
This is so sad. Please don’t sign your dog over to the police. You can get great advice from this group who really want the best for banned breeds and to get rid of ridiculous breed specific legislation for good. Even the name is ridiculous. It’s not ‘breed’ specific. They don’t DNA test the dog to see what breed it is. They rely on a set of measurements. It’s not about the dog’s personality, it’s about the way the dog looks. It’s shocking!!
