Training Provider for Mantrailing/Trailing and Tracking Dogs for Sport and Operational Deployment. M

Sally and Martha had their annual assessment carried out today. It is without saying that they are very competent and able to assist their SAR Unit and the police forces for another year.
The trail scenario given started in a highly contaminated area. The trail was extremly aged and had a lot of distractions, such as dogs, ducks, swans and cats. Martha ignored all of those and remained on trail.
Never in doubt. Congratulations!
The last three days we welcomed the handlers of course 1/2024. These handlers are very advanced in their skills and have a great working relationship with their dogs.
Master Instructor Richard travelled up north this weekend for a Workshop. Great handlers and dogs
This weekend was assessment for course 02/2023! We're super proud of all the handlers and dogs and their achievements! Especially those new to trailing and the advancement beyond our expectations of others! It's been a great six months and a fabulous learning event for all involved!

Today we assessed the Dog Handlers and their K9 partners from course 1/2023. We are pleased that most of them reached the competencies to be awarded the Skills for Justice "Trailing Dog Handler" qualification. The trail was extremely hard. The wind and swamps made it very difficult for dogs and handlers. Thank you to our acting missing people and the Dog Support for your help.

Lexi and her handler were an amazing team. They achieved the Skills for Justice Award with ease and Lexi will be greatly missed by our Instructor Team.
Our Master Instructor Karin has returned safely back to Essex. The course 2/2023 was very fortunate with the weather and Karin just escaped the masses of snow arriving in Scotland. The handlers made all good progress and completed successful 3 practical Modules assessments and showed their competence in underpinning knowledge by completing the theory written assessment.
They were so busy and no time for photos. We borrowed a photo from Michelle and Skye who are doing exceptionally well on the course.
We are opening the registration for this years accredited Trailing Dog Handler Course. The places will be limited to assure the quality of training meets our high standard.

Our Instructor Karin Lee is back from a more than successful first weekend in Scotland with some very talented dogs and their handlers. There is a 9 week gap now until their first assessment on Module 1 and 2. Karin had no time to take any photos as always engaging with the students is more important.
Yesterday we saw 3 handler teams at the Sussex progressive workshop. These slow mo clips show how quickly a dog takes the scent from an article even though the handler some times thinks the dog hasn't got it - it has! Recording videos of your trails and watching them back is a key tool in learning your dogs behaviour! Watching at half speed helps you to see even more of your dogs behaviour!
One of our handlers young dog, who met a cat for the first time! Harlow cats are pretty hard and this one was proper hissy!!! Slow mo action for you on this one!!! 🙀😂
First day of our International Trailing Camp
Super day today at Sussex workshop, sun held off to keep the temperature acceptable! All dogs and handlers did a great job! Well done all!
