TPL Trail and Find

The teams had strong winds 💨 to contend with on todays session but that didn’t deter them from working out the challenges set for them 👏🏼 Some of the elements on todays session included high finds, back tracks and a displaced start, as always at this venue we were very well looked after with tea and cake 🍰 🐕💕

Hi Folks,

We had three new teams start their mantrailing journey on todays session and all three teams were awesome on their fire trails 🙌 Lovely to see all the different breeds, St Bernard, Pointer and German Shepherd being introduced to this addictive sport 🐕 For the experienced teams we had water crossings and aged trails 💦 🐕💕

What was I thinking booking a mantrailing session the day after a busy dog show 🙈We set up camp on today’s session and kept the tea and cakes 🍰 flowing throughout the session to keep me awake 😂
We had a great session working on problem solving different issues each team were experiencing from going into the trail layer and increasing trail value, well done everyone 🐕💕

It was a tad warm 🌞 on today’s session but the dogs coped really well, luckily at this venue they are lots of shaded areas and woodland 🌲🌿🪵 We had a discussion about how different weather conditions affects your dogs trail and also about reading your dogs body language and recognising when your dog is trailing and when they are not 🐕💕

Not trailed at this location for a while so it was lovely to catch up with everyone on the session and staff who always make us feel so welcome 🐕Today we talked about proximity alerts and how important it is to be able to read your dogs trailing body language so we set up different challenges for the teams to test their knowledge on their own dogs proximity alerts 🐕 We had great indications on high finds, walking TL, obvious find and a great scent ID from Lois 👏🏼

Busy session today with teams at different stages of their mantrailing journey so the trails were set accordingly, had some great open area starts and good decision making on directional changes, well done everyone 👏🏼🐕💕

We wanted to work on Scent ID exercises today but didn’t want the handler knowing or guessing (from the scent article) who was the trail layer and who was the decoy so they couldn’t influence the dog 🐕 we used sterile gauze pads which were only touched by the Trail layer and gave no clue who it belonged to, great session with lovely indications and a very mixed bag weather wise 🙈⛈️☀️☔️🐕💕

Wow 🤩 what a fantastic location for a spot of mantrailing 🐕acres of fields and woodland with stunning scenery 🌳⛰️great work from all the teams today 👏🏼perfect weather, lovely company and a great host meant lots of tea and biscuits☕️ and as a bonus it’s a great location for tracking so Bo had a few tracks laid for her and absolutely smashed them 🐕💕 Will definitely be back here in August 🐶

Today we had a discussion on the different types of exercises we could include in our mantrailing sessions and then we incorporated some of them 🐕 Callie demonstrated a great NSI exercise, we also had Scent ID, contaminated starts and distraction trails, great session and so interesting watching the teams working on the different elements 👏🏼🐕💕

Busy session this morning with teams all at different stages of their mantrailing journey so trails were set accordingly 🐕 Fantastic double blind by Ellie 👏🏼great indication on obvious find for Fred and walking find for Jade🚶‍♂️👏🏼progression trails for Meg and we had two new teams on Fire trails 🔥 starting their mantrailing journey, great company and weather was perfect 🐕💕🐾

A great morning at a great location.
Challenging trails and elements to progress the teams.
Well done everyone! 🐾🐾

On todays session we started early and finished early to beat the heat of the sun 🌞 Also had some lovely shady trails, quite a busy environment as everyone else had the same idea to walk earlier but the teams did some great fire trails🔥 and progressed on distance and difficulty, hope your all sat with your paws up 🐾 chilling 🐕🙈

This location was busier today than last time we were here on a Saturday - so much traffic about.

The dogs all working amazingly with elements to include road crossings, contaminated article start, back track, open area hard surface start.
However, the prize goes to Callie for a successful find using the handler's own scent article. We wondered why she wasn't so 'on it' as usual. Trainer error but Callie pulled it out of the bag when she picked up on the trail odour! 🤦‍♀️

Well done everyone! 🐾🐾

On todays session we had a little talk about scent pools and then we worked some scent pools of various designs 🐕so interesting watching the dogs work them and finding the exit points, great work everyone and perfect weather, got finished early before the dogs got too hot 🐕🙈

Amazing work from the teams on today's all day session with trails being aged from 10 mins to 30.
Knowing when your dog is displaying trailing behaviour is key to a good partnership and if they are working the scent then let them work it. If your gut tells you they have switched then take action.
We had both today and both ended in successful finds.

Well done everyone! 🐾🐾

Great session at this busier than usual location.
Using productive source, 10m displaced starts, dog distraction trail and surface changes were some of the elements covered.
One of the dogs displayed some unusual behaviour which was possibly due to the effect of thermoclining.

Well done everyone! 🐾🐾

The greatest achievement on yesterday’s session was staying upright 🙈a combination of recent rain and horses 🐎 meant uneven ground but the dogs and handlers worked the challenges set them well 👏🏼aged trails, scent pools, water crossings were some of the challenges set, great session in lovely company 🐕💕

We introduced two new teams to Mantrailing today and this venue was perfect for an induction session, off lead fire trails🔥 with no distractions and clean areas with no contamination ensuring they have the best start to their Mantrailing journey through self discovery 💕

We also saw some great free trails from the other teams, perfecting directional changes and gate indications with no guidance from the handler and we had sunshine ☀️ tea ☕️ and cakes 🍰 Perfect 🐕💕

Today's teams blew me away - both dogs and handlers were on top form.
This included Oscar, who, on only his second session is proving to be a natural and already on blind starts.

Well done everyone! 🐾🐾
