We had dogs of all skill levels this morning so did everything from fire trails to double blinds.
As always, there was loads of learning and a little bit of homework for those that wanted it and even for those that didn’t 🤣

If ever you’ve wondered why your dog is trailing on the opposite side of the road or hedge to where the MISPER walked. This may be where the skin rafts are falling.
At the end you’ll see the residue on the tree leaves from the last walk past.
Anyone know why the powder is being held at head height?

INCOMING! Three of the amazing dogs from today’s session. Thanks to Millie for MISPERING and thinking to video 🧡

The sun was shining on us today 🤩
It was great to have Sam join us to start trailing, he loves the game and isn’t lacking drive! Òrla is still beginning in trailing and is showing great promise. Bertie, Willow, Roxie, Viva and Helga were all fantastic too, building up their skills with more technical components. They all did a great job 🧡

Storm Ashley couldn’t stop us trail today. It was challenging at times but we’re all made of strong stuff and worked through it.
Órla was introduced to the game and shows great promise 🧡 The other dogs all worked their socks off and the results spoke for themselves.
Huge thanks to Nikki for being amazing as always and some super squeaking.

Annie Dawson
Expert Instructor
Main Area of Instruction: Wales & Borders

Annie is a long time dog owner and has a great understanding in caring and training dogs and horses.

She has been trailing with her K9 Partner Billie, a wired haired Vizsla since 2019. She is part of the Search and Rescue Community for a number of years and is currently completing training and upskilling to be involved in future deployments. She has also helped her husband Andy to train their k9 from Vizsla puppy to become an operational Trailing Dog and completed the operation Handler course with the British Mantrailing Academy which shows great potential.

Annie and Billie achieved the Skills for Justice Award Trailing Dog Handler in 2021, but it became very clear to the Master Instructors of the British Mantrailing Academy early into the course, that Annie not only was an extremely gifted Dog Handler, but also outstanding in people and customer care skills.
