So as many of you know I’m a little bit agility obsessed. However last year I gave mantrailing a try with Jet while she was out on injury and turns out she is really good at it and loves it!
Mantrailing is a where a “missing person” or “misper” leaves a scent article (something that smells like them) on the ground and the dog follows their scent trail to find them. It’s a great sport that is low impact and dogs of all ages can get involved. It is also brilliant for working a dog’s brain but also boosts their confidence.
Here is Jet doing her thing for a fun session with a friend on the longest trail she’s ever done lasting about 7 minutes long. The video is a bit bouncy but I was recording while following her 🤣🤣
What a day! Sorry guys for no photos but hope this video explains why 😂😂
My guys waiting not so patiently for their physio session this afternoon 😂
My two train and compete in agility and so I get them checked every 8 weeks for any muscle tweaks to help keep them in top condition. However, I also believe it’s really important even for dogs who don’t participate in sports to get checked out by a physio for any tweaks. Dogs are very good at hiding when things aren’t quite right and will still participate in their regular activities even though it may cause them pain. Often dogs with behavioural issues can actually have an underlying issue that’s been causing them discomfort and is a factor to their behaviour. More often than not any time Jet has had any niggles it has been due to her slipping in mud and causing a muscle damage. Did you know that in can take 6-8 weeks for smaller strains to heal? And longer depending on the severity of the strain?
Sign of a good walk! But thank goodness for the dog washer!
Love a chilled group out for a mooch together 😍
When it’s a different walk and there’s so many interesting smells to explore!
Weekends are making up enrichment for the dogs! Might not look the nicest but my dogs love it! I can’t always take my dogs everywhere so I like to leave them with something to do which is where enrichment comes in! Enrichment is good for mental stimulation and licking actually realises happy hormones to help calm your dog and make them happy. Into the freezer these go to make it a bit more of a challenge, that’s if Summit doesn’t get his paws on them first!
So after a bit of a rocky start to the holiday with the blow out of my tyre in the middle lane of the M5, the rest of the holiday was pretty awesome! Fantastic weather and time with my family and most importantly my dogs! A few first experiences for Summit as it was his first holiday but he handled it all like a pro! And I got to see dolphins! 😍 and Jet and Summit converted my niece to a border collie lover who added two stuffed toy border collie to her collection and named them Jet and Summy 🥰
Hey everyone!! Exciting stuff! Jet and Summit got selected as models for T and D Trinkets here are their GORGEOUS new tags! Go and check them out and if you do enjoy 10% on us! 😍
A certain puppy did not want me doing invoices tonight 😂 this is after a walk and a training session 🙈 it’s almost like he doesn’t want his tasty treatos 🤣
Jettos says frozen puddles are definitely something to shout about! 🤣
First day of holiday and someone was pleased to be alive this morning 🤣
Jettos was definitely in need of a recharge 😂
Thank you everyone for being so accommodating about changes in times etc for walking this week!
Sorry for lack of photos been a bit of a manic week but couldn’t not capture this 🙈 this is how my walk went today 🙈 first time I’ve had to take everyone back to my house so I could use a proper hose 🤣
