Information update
Wiggle your butt, it’s Friday! 💃🏼
Ziggy and I are away tomorrow and Sunday attending @endeavourk9 OPEX weekend.
Just a quick note to mention Mantrailing sessions for July & August are fully booked!
The next introduction will likely not run until the end of the year due to already limited capacity.
So grateful for my dedicated teams 🫶🏼
Messages and enquiries will be replied to early next week 😊
Have a great weekend! 🐾
Starting the month off right 😍
Thank you @tailtrekker for the recommendation!
Some scent work with my boys after trailing today.
I probably shouldn’t admit this I HATE using a lead 😂
As you can see I need a lot of practice but it’s a necessity particularly when you have a reactive dog or are trying to teach a specific goal.
7 hides were laid out for just over four hours, in various places, around this big rock to increase chances of success.
I also like to add in uneven surfaces and a bit of climbing where I can to build confidence and see what their limits are. This was a fairly easy obstacle for them to navigate.
Added distraction for Ziggy when a group dressed as the cast of Frozen turned up for a photo shoot and started singing the Elsa call 🎤 His face 😂
Looks like we’ll need to revisit our indication training now he’s absolutely mental again! 🤪🙈
Dog training is messy and a large percentage of it is going back to your foundations. Have fun with it!
❤️🐾 Happy Valentines Day 🐾❤️
It’s not training if it’s not raining! 🫣🌧️
Our long awaited new and improved scent work classes are back! More information and booking details to be released tomorrow at 7pm!
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year ❤️
Thank you for all of your kindness, support and laughter this year. It has been a blast!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!🎅🏼🎶
Just look at Tomas go!
It’s always a joy to watch him work 🤩 He is always raring to go, shouting with impatience waiting for his starting cue 😂
Wow! Our Mantrailing classes are fully booked for the rest of the year! 🤩 Thank you all for your continued support, it means to world to me to be able to share my passion with such wonderful, likeminded people 🐾
Our veteran mantrailer, Cleo who is 15 years young! What a beautiful, smart and sassy girl she is ❤️
After spending the weekend trailing the Springers I thought I’d spend some time with Jack searching. He makes me laugh 😂
A little clip of Honey, Blyss, Shwmae & Ziggy trailing yesterday. Look at them go!

How do you make your walks more interesting? We think it’s viral to mix it up a bit so they don’t become stagnant for you and your dogs!
This is one of our favourite games, the best thing is that you create lots of variations to keep your dog on their toes 🐾
Sometimes I will drop the ball without them seeing and then ask them to find it at a random point in a field, sometimes the see me throw it and sometimes I ask them to sit and wait while I go and hide it.
Nothing complicated but it gets their brains working and those lovely, endorphin releasing, olfactory receptors tingling 🥰
I find these games a helpful way to informally practice impulse control outside as well as building stamina for scent work 👃🏼
Not in to toys? Use food! 🍪
Let us know in the comments the kinds of games you like to play to make your walks more interesting 😃
Feathers are very very scary… apparently 🪶🤷🏼♀️
New training class “memorise” being offered by the boss 😜
INBTI seminar 22
An absolutely incredible 3 days of mantrailing with my best boy! So unbelievably proud of Ziggy!
We have learnt so much from our wonderful INBTI instructor Steven Mayer. A big thank you to Tammy for being an amazing trail layer and to those who participated. Your dogs were a pleasure to watch.
