  • Our lad Skip, got his second Scentwork rosette today with six finds and no false alerts.  I need to move him on now to bigger things so if anybody has any spare cash or drugs laying around I will teach him to find them.
    That's excellent!! My Mrs teaches Scentwork to all types of breeds and 6 finds both no false's is very good. Well done!

    Cheers, Red. Next level is a bit tougher, no encouragement and no falses.
  • @man_at_milletts Who do you do scentwork with if you don't mind me asking? 

    My two do it with Dog Training Centre of Excellence over in Brentwood, with our older daxie on gold and the younger one on silver at the moment. Find it really helps them with discipline and patience around treats and food

    It's a pity we live so far away, Mrs RM is an accredited Scentwork trainer (she also trains and takes part in other disciplines) I'm sure she could give you pointers. 3 of our GSD's are now scentwork dogs, and she has just joined, as a volunteer, the Warwickshire Search and Rescue team. I wish you well on your next stage mate 
  • I’d highly recommend a trip to Mrs Redmidland @man_at_milletts , she taught me and our first dog Bailey nosework sadly not long after he fell ill and we didn’t pursue it although I kept him busy with it when the occasion arose. 
    Mrs Redmidland in the distance has my bloody car keys and I was 150 miles from home, she certainly knows how to make sure you’re paying attention on my boys first track 😂
    The thought of a train home or staying the night with @Redmidland I made sure we found the car keys 😂

    No problem @sam3110 We are based between Canterbury and Dover and both Scentwork training and competition is virtually non existent down this way however, I was put into touch with Enve Canine Services in Deal who are the only trainers I could find locally who train to the proper Scentwork criteria and they are good.  Skip's going to have a rest from training for a month or two while we consolidate what he has learnt so far and then its on to intermediate which is more of a challenge.  Sounds like your two are enjoying it, it certainly keeps Skip focussed and using his brain.

    That would be very welcome Malcolm. T.C.E. directed me to her FB page. I am looking for help on his indication, as he's all nose and paws, so explosives are out of the question :o

    She can help on explosives but it takes time. I'll have a word with her, we are based in Leicestershire just off the M69. I'll get back to you in next few days.
  • Try Danny Lines in Essex, I seem to remember he did explosive work from when I started out on bite work with him. 
    He’s also got a FB page.

    Thanks, the explosives comment was a bit tongue in cheek, he's heavy handed. I really need to work on his indication so I will keep him on cloves for now. Cheers.

    Beautiful……. Which reminds me, step forward the Charlton fan who suggested Bowyer was a long haired Collie, you can see why there’s a confusion 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

    He looks a beaut and I love the ears.Can he make them stand up like Skips?  If you need any help with training PM me as we've got a great trainer who specialises in BC's and what they come with.  Could I ask where you rescued him from?

    Really appreciate that, I will get in touch.
    He slept in his crate all night with no bother.
    We rescued him from the West Cork Animal Rescue after he was found abandoned on the side of the road near Macroom 😔
  • After losing Bailey, Xena and JJ in 18 months both Valli and Bowyer had a difficult time sorting themselves out. 
    Valli being the oldest assumed the role, Bowyer being the thickest thought he automatically given the part and Valli would just step aside. 
    Many a little indiscretion from Bows resulting in him getting 42 teeth across his arse but did he learn did he **** 
    After a day or two of JJs passing Bowyer destroyed the door rug that JJ laid on in the evening, his only act of destruction as he’s always had other dogs to set him straight. 
    Valli has taken to sleeping outside our bedroom door where JJ and Bailey before him slept, Bowyer is confined to the dogs room until he grows up.
    Not only ourselves that have to adapt when you have multiple dogs, playtime is fun too with only two they have fewer distractions, but he might be thick but he’s quickly learning the hard way, females will always have the last word. 😂



  • We spend most of our lives being referees of some sort don’t we?

    Queue me sat on the steps between the kitchen and the sunroom while Russo sat in the sunroom and Boots in the kitchen, just staring each other out.

    Hilarious 😂😂

    Calmness has now descended as both are in their respective beds.

    My 2 Springer Spaniels have their moments - they are brothers, Bodie is the alpha male, Buster is a bit dippy and stupid - if the Police or Army etc had got Bodie as a puppy he would of sailed through training, he is so intelligent - the ‘fights’ between them always happen because of tennis balls or toys, with Bodie basically refusing to allow Buster to have anything - we once had the ridiculous situation where there were 10 brand new tennis balls in the living room, and Bodie wouldn’t even allow Buster to have one ball, with Bodie gradually gathering up the balls and trying to lay on all of them to prevent Buster having one !!!

    Every morning they have ‘fight club’ where they run round the house chasing each other and play fighting - it’s funny to watch, but more often than not Bodie gets over excited and goes too far

    All is easily solved by raising my voice - they don’t like it when I do that
