Wow! What a weekend!

Happy Dogs Plett recently went to Cape Town to run a Man-Trailing workshop.

I absolutely love introducing new teams to Man-Trailing. It is such a rewarding activity and handlers are always amazed what their dogs can achieve with those incredible noses. What a treat to see so many different breeds and ages of dogs, really proving that Man-Trailing is for everyone.

Everyone had tons of fun (humans and dogs!) and we will hopefully do it again soon!

Thank you to everyone who took part, our runner volunteers and most of all Karis & family for organising it and being fabulous hosts.

A huge thank you to Tilting Trees Forest Lodge for hosting The Sniff Sniff Club. Always great to get the dogs working in a different environment and we had so much fun!

Thank you for setting up a whole range of different hides Lesley, it was great!

Teenage troubles...but lots of fun!

These superstar teams graduation from our Intermediate Puppy Course. The Intermediate focuses a lot on helping you get through that dreaded teenage time with a lot of focus and engagement exercises.

The teams have also all started Man-trailing with us and are all naturals!

Congratulations to Beth with Odin, Judy with Frodo, Michelle with Jack and Samantha with Coco.

See you on the Trails!

We just love the Scent Hide Tubes from and it's so much fun getting creative with their placements.
Not that they were very hidden in my hair but that was a tough one for the dogs 😅

This group was so much fun to work with! Braving the cold every Saturday morning both handlers & dogs (and the trainer!) had a great time.

Very different dog personalities and it was great to see them all adapt, grow and learn in their own ways. Particularly what with leaving puppyhood behind and becoming teenagers which can be a really trying time!

Congratulations to Anne with Alfie, Brad with Milo, Liz with Monty, Nix with Leo and Jani & Coco with Bear (not pictured)

Dynamite really does comes in small packages! And nowhere is that more true than with this group. A Beagle, a Foxy, a Standard (but still small) Schnauzer and a German Shepherd (who was also still small).

And what fun we had!

Our courses are focused on giving owners the right tools and understanding to live their best lives with their pups and how to deal with situations that arise.

These first few months with your new puppy are so important for their development - get started on the right foot by joining a class!

Big congratulations to Beth with Odin, Judy & Louis with Frodo, Margie with Tara and Samantha with Coco.
