Got to love the spaniels enthusiasm! 🤣

While searching for an inaccessible hide during todays workshop Frank and Midge put their all into getting as close to the hide as possible 💪🏻

It's taken a while to share photos from the last two Guest Trainer days for On Point Scentwork but here they are.
The venue was in an area with amazing views, and we were really lucky to have good weather both days. We were lucky to have access to an equestrian centre on a farm for the days training, which provided some interesting environmental challenges for the dogs plus the handlers had a day focussing on line handling, with all searches requiring the dogs to search on a line.
Lovely teams to work with a really enjoyable couple of days, thanks for inviting me, Rebecca Grant

Today I instructed another Handler Influence training day. We looked at ways, as handlers we can positively influence our dogs and support them in the search as well as negatively influencing them and hindering the search.
Achieving an effective start to the search was our first focus moving onto looking at how powerful our body language and positioning can be throughout the search.
A great group of handlers who want to be the best they can be for their team. 💪🏻👏🏻

Last weekend I headed over to Norfolk for another weekend training the Clever Clicks crew. As part of the weekend training, I assessed some of the teams for the Scent Detectives Awards. There was a great standard of scent detection, credit to their instructor Helen Pye for helping prepare the teams.

Really well done everyone and huge congratulations to the teams who passed the assessments. 💪🏻🥂🎉

A really fun weekend with lots of laughs and learning with some super dogs and handlers.

Super Summer at last week's Skills workshop. 🤩

A training session working on individual needs for the teams, including; indication, environmental distractions, systematic searching and focus to search. Great work from all the teams and so nice to see the progression from the last session, definitely some homework training completed over the holidays 💪🏻

A full day training today, people screening this morning and area search this afternoon.

All the teams worked really hard today, working on individual challenges as well as progressing new skills. The dogs were all so happy to be back in the room people searching.

Thank you Emma Conlisk for hosting us, your Christmas room is super 🎄⛄🎅🏼

Here's a short video of Lottie during day 1 of our people screening introduction workshop. Lottie lacks a lot of confidence with people and ordinarily this workshop is not aimed at dogs with this challenge. However Lottie has been attending regular training classes with us and during classes her confidence has started to improve, becoming more comfortable at having people in the same area. The focus for Lottie attending the people screening workshop was to build her confidence around and approaching people.
It was wonderful to watch her progression throughout the day, from enjoying taking tasty treats from strangers to finishing the day choosing to approach people to search them.
This was a massive step for Lottie and was quite emotional to watch.
Really well done to her owner Dave for his patience to help Lottie progress on her own journey.

A search development workshop today. Great work from these teams, handlers supporting the dogs when needed but also allowing them to crack on with their job. Making sure the dogs build a high level of confidence to tackle any challenges they are faced with.

Gorgeous Harley, he was on 🔥 today at our search workshop.

Reading the clear behaviour changes from these dogs during the search allowed the handlers to piece together many parts of the puzzle before reaching the hide.

Awesome core strength from these dogs too! 💪🏼

This was part of today's training day at Solihull University focusing on deep and inaccessible hides.

Another great workshop at Sywell Aviation Museum last week, with a lovely group of handlers and dogs.
It was really nice to catch up over lunch afterwards, talking all things dogs and scent.

A huge thanks to On Point Scentwork for inviting me back to deliver another training day, this time at Gulliver's Kingdom, such an awesome venue. All the dogs and handlers had a great time working through challenges in such a fun environment.

Day two of camp was focussed on rural searches. The handlers worked on gathering information from the dogs and the environment to piece together the scent picture and hide location. The dogs worked really well at generalising their search skills.

Another brilliant day with awesome teams! 🤩

15/09/2024

Today was day 1 of our Team Development camp.
We focussed on some of the team's individual training challenges, which included, independence in problem solving hides, ground floor hides, confidently clearing an area.
