Here we are, the first half of our instructor course.. Complete ✅
I am now officially trained for starting humans and their dogs off on the most amazing journey they can possibly be on (in my opinion 😅 but I’m a total addict!) thanks to Trailing K9s instructor course.
👀 I’ll be sharing more over the next few weeks about…
- Who I am 👋
- How Trailing has helped my dog be more manageable and how it’s made life easier for me owning him (him in an emoji would have been 🌪️ now he’s 🧘) 🐾
- What is Tracking 🐽
- What is ManTrailing 🐕🦺
- What is Trailing 🐽 🦮
- What is the difference between the three. 🤔
- How these three, or some of these three, can help you and your dog to.. most importantly - Have Fun! And how it might be able to help some dogs build their confidence and regulate their nervous system by giving them an awesome job to do 💪 watch your dog go from Existing to THRIVING 🤩
And of course you’ll want to know …
HOW YOU and YOUR DOG can get involved 🙌 and WHEN!
✨ COMING SOON ✨
👀 Watch This Space..
We've made it to the end of week one of the first Trailing Instructors Course.
It's been absolutely amazing. I couldn't ask for a better first group for this course.
Everyone has been tracking and trailing, teaching each other and students. They have thrown themselves into the learning, asking the right questions, learning the skills and training to help the teams thrive.
I've had so much fun being able to work with six amazing dog trainers, it's made my brain itch in the best way and made me realise just how much I enjoy seeing people thrive.
We've covered:
- Introducing tracking, trailing and mantrailing to dogs.
- Learning how scent moves and will affect the dog.
- Training students and types of learning.
- Problem solving how dogs work on the trail.
- Setting up trails for success.
- Social media success with Georgia at .
- Setting up sessions and classes for maximum learning.
These are the incredible instructors who have joined me -

Stay tuned for an introduction to all of them properly.
Over the next few weeks these guys will be putting into practice everything they’ve learnt in preparation for the second part of the course - progressing teams and learning more exercises.
I can't wait 😍
