🚨 Important Update from Hounds and Helis 🚨

Some exciting news! We are closing our doors to new customers from today, August 1st as we are bursting at capacity with our current, fantastic clients.

For the rest of 2024, Éadaoin will be focusing her efforts on providing exceptional service to current clients, ensuring their needs are met and pushing though some exciting projects that are in the pipeline – watch this space!

If you haven’t had the chance to work with us yet, don’t worry! You can still join Irene for Intro's in Killarney and join Éadaoin for Mantrailing Development Training Days and Assessment Days. However, Éadaoin will no longer offer Introduction to Mantrailing or Introduction to Air Scent Workshops for the remainder of the year. Rest assured, any workshops already scheduled will proceed as planned, but no new intro sessions with Éadaoin will be available until early 2025.

Psst, we may have one more Cadaver Dog Course before the end of the year if we can squeeze it in!

We want to extend a huge thank you to all our clients for their continued support and enthusiasm. Can’t wait to add more training events to our schedule.

For updates and to learn more about our advanced offerings, online coaching and our new projects, keep an eye on our social media and website.

Éadaoin is looking forward to reconnecting with new clients in the future!

Thank you for understanding and being part of our journey! 🙏

Plans on Thursday evening, August 15th?

The Waterford Sports Partnership are holding an Adventure Walk in Glenshelane Woods, Cappoquin for Mums and their teenage daughters. It’s is part of a series of ‘Her Outdoors’ events being run across the country.

The walk will be lead by members of Ireland’s Specialist Search and Rescue Dogs with a demonstration on how their amazing SAR dogs work. Plus a talk on basic navigation skills.

To book the event, check out the link in the post below!

Anyone catch this earlier today? 2 hours long but a very interesting watch.

Discussions between trainers with alternative methods are rare. Even more rare that they stay civil and on topic.

My biggest red flag 🚩 for a dog trainer is constant bashing of other view points, other methods, other ways of doing things. I hope for brighter days are ahead for this industry, it starts with conversations like this

There’s a lot of misunderstanding out there about Intensity Starts (TKM).

The perception is that this type of start creates over arousal in the dog 🤪. If this has happened, you’re doing the Intensity Start wrong.

The word ‘Intensity’ has nothing to do with how the runner engages with dog at the start of the trail. It simply refers to how the start is structured. The prestart ritual happens before the runner leaves.

When a dog is new to Mantrailing, we may get the runner to engage the dog in a way that dog finds exciting. This creates excitement in the dog to trail and find the runner. Using this over a few trails, we have time to find the right reward for the dog and build the dog’s drive for that reward and the intensity trial. This doesn’t take long.

After only a few trails, the ‘excitement’ from the runner is dialled way back and we use the quality of the rewards and the intensity trail to motivate the dog to find the runner.

If excitement is never dialled back from the runner, this leads to over arousal in the dog. Not the structure of the Intensity Start.

Excitement and Motivation are different. Knowing this is crucial for a successful Mantrailing dog.
